Rings to answer
You can specify how many rings should occur before your Kodak EasyShare AiO automatically answers an
incoming call (default = 4). If you have a dedicated fax line, set the Rings to Answer to 1 or 2. If you have a
shared line for voice/modem and fax, set the Rings to answer to 3, 4 or 5. This setting only applies if
Answering Machine Mode is set to OFF.
When Answering Machine mode is disabled, Rings to Answer applies and your AiO printer answers the
call. When your AiO printer detects a fax tone, it receives the fax. When a voice call is received (no fax
tone), the call is ignored.
