To set the answer mode

▲Press Auto Answer to turn the light on or off, as appropriate for your setup. When the Auto Answer light is on, the HP All-in-One answers calls automatically. When the light is off, the HP All-in-One does not answer calls.

Set the number of rings before answering

If you turn on the Auto Answer setting, you can specify how many rings should occur before the HP All-in-One automatically answers the incoming call.

The Rings to Answer setting is important if you have an answering machine on the same phone line as the HP All-in-One, because you want the answering machine to answer the phone before the HP All-in-One does. The number of rings to answer for the HP All- in-One should be greater than the number of rings to answer for the answering machine.

For example, set your answering machine to a low number of rings and the HP All-in-One to answer in the maximum number of rings. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.) In this setup, the answering machine will answer the call and the HP All- in-One will monitor the line. If the HP All-in-One detects fax tones, the HP All-in-One will receive the fax. If the call is a voice call, the answering machine will record the incoming message.

To set the number of rings before answering from the control panel

1.Press Setup.

2.Press to highlight Basic Fax Setup and press OK.

3.Press to highlight Rings to Answer and then press OK.

4.Enter the appropriate number of rings by using the keypad, or press or to change the number of rings.

Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ringing

Many phone companies offer a distinctive ringing feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on one phone line. When you subscribe to this service, each number will have a different ring pattern. You can set up the HP All-in-One to answer incoming calls that have a specific ring pattern.

If you connect the HP All-in-One to a line with distinctive ringing, have your telephone company assign one ring pattern to voice calls and another ring pattern to fax calls. HP recommends that you request double or triple rings for a fax number. When the HP All- in-One detects the specified ring pattern, it will answer the call and receive the fax.

If you do not have a distinctive ring service, use the default ring pattern, which is All Rings.

To change the distinctive ring pattern from the control panel

1.Verify that the HP All-in-One is set to answer fax calls automatically.

2.Press Setup.

3.Press to highlight Advanced Fax Setup, and then press OK.

4.Press to highlight Distinctive Ring, and then press OK.

5.Press to highlight the appropriate option, and then press OK.

When the phone rings with the ring pattern assigned to your fax line, the HP All-in- One answers the call and receives the fax.
