Receive a fax
Depending on the
Auto Answer
setting, your HP all-in-one can receive faxes
automatically or manually. If you have set the
Auto Answer
option to
Off
, you will need
to receive faxes manually. If the
Auto Answer
option is set to
On
, your HP all-in-one
will automatically answer incoming calls and receive faxes. For more information on
Auto Answer
, see
Set up the HP all-in-one to receive faxes
Note
If you installed a photo or gray photo print cartridge for printing photos, you
might want to replace it with the black print cartridge when receiving faxes. See
Set the number of rings before answering
You can specify how many rings should occur before your HP all-in-one automatically
answers the incoming call.
Note
This setting only applies if
Auto Answer
is set to
On
.
The
Rings to Answer
setting is important if you have an answering machine on the
same phone line as your HP all-in-one. You want the answering machine to answer the
phone before the HP all-in-one. 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 answer in 4 rings and your HP all-in-one to
answer in the maximum number of rings supported by your device. (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.
