HP Photosmart Premium Fax C309 - Manual (Page 19)

Case D: Fax with a distinctive ring service on the same line
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service (through your telephone company) that allows you to have multiple
phone numbers on one phone line, each with a different ring pattern, set up the HP Photosmart as described in this
section.

To set up the HP Photosmart with a distinctive ring service
1. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP Photosmart, connect one end to your telephone wall jack,
then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the HP Photosmart.
NOTE: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the HP Photosmart,
you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might
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 Photosmart 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 Photosmart 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 Photosmart 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.
