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

Work with print cartridges

.

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.
