HP CE862A, CM1410 manual Set the answer mode, Block or unblock fax numbers

When it is using the fax-forwarding feature, the product (rather than the computer) must be receiving the faxes, and the answer mode must be set to Automatic.

1.From the Home screen, touch the Fax button.

2.Touch the Fax Menu button.

3.Touch the Receive Options button.

4.Touch the Forward Fax button, and touch the On button.

5.Use the keypad to enter the fax-forwarding number, and then touch the OK button.

Set the answer mode

Depending on the situation, set the product answer mode to Automatic, TAM, Fax/Tel, or Manual. The factory-set default is Automatic.

●Automatic: The product answers incoming calls after a specified number of rings or upon recognition of special fax tones.

●TAM: The product does not automatically answer the call. Instead, it waits until it detects the fax tone.

●Fax/Tel: The product answers incoming calls immediately. If it detects the fax tone, it processes the call as a fax. If it does not detect the fax tone, it creates an audible ring to alert you to answer the incoming voice call.

●Manual: The product never answers calls. You must start the fax-receiving process yourself, either by touching the Start Fax button on the control panel or by picking up a telephone that is connected to that line and dialing 1-2-3.

To set or change the answer mode, complete the following steps:

1.From the Home screen, touch the Setup button.

2.Touch the Fax Setup menu.

3.Touch the Basic Setup menu.

4.Scroll to and touch the Answer Mode button, and then touch the name of the option that you want to use.

Block or unblock fax numbers

If you do not want to receive faxes from specific people or businesses, you can block as many as 30 fax numbers by using the control panel. When you block a fax number and someone from that number sends you a fax, the control-panel display indicates that the number is blocked, the fax does not print, and the fax is not saved in memory. Faxes from blocked fax numbers appear in the fax activity log with a “discarded” designation. You can unblock blocked fax numbers individually or all at one time.

NOTE: The sender of a blocked fax is not notified that the fax failed.

1.From the Home screen, touch the Fax button.

2.Touch the Fax Menu button.

3.Touch the Receive Options button.
