HP LaserJet Pro M521 Multifunction Printer series - Manual (Page 137)

● 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 without intervention. 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 on the product control panel, 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.
NOTE: If the sender has not configured the fax header, the number cannot be blocked.
1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Fax button.
2. Touch the Fax Menu button.
3. Touch the Receive Options button.
4. Touch the Block Junk Faxes button.
5. Touch the Add Number button.
6. Use the keypad to enter the fax number that you want to block, and then touch the OK button.
Set the number of rings-to-answer
When the answer mode is set to Automatic , the product rings-to-answer setting determines the number
of times the telephone rings before the product answers an incoming call.
If the product is connected to a line that receives both fax and voice calls (a shared line) and that also
uses an answering machine, you might need to adjust the rings-to-answer setting. The number of rings-
to-answer for the product must be greater than the rings-to-answer on the answering machine. This
allows the answering machine to answer the incoming call and record a message if it is a voice call.
