already have in your home or office.
2. Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
3. Change the Distinctive Ring setting to match the pattern that the telephone
company assigned to your fax number.
Note By default, the HP All-in-One is set to answer all ring patterns. If
you do not set the Distinctive Ring to match the ring pattern assigned to
your fax number, the HP All-in-One might answer both voice calls and fax
calls or it might not answer at all.
4. (Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).
5. Run a fax test.
The HP All-in-One will automatically answer incoming calls that have the ring pattern
you selected (
Distinctive Ring setting) after the number of rings you selected ( Rings
to Answer setting). Then it will begin emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax
machine and receive the fax.
Case E: Shared voice/fax line
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you have
no other office equipment (or voice mail) on this phone line, set up the HP All-in-One
as described in this section.
