Set the answer mode
The answer mode determines whether the HP All-in-One answers incoming calls or
not. The following modes are available:

Fax

The HP All-in-One will automatically answer incoming calls and
receive faxes after the number of rings specified by the

Rings to

Answer

setting. This is the default setting.

FaxTel

(handset

model only)

The HP All-in-One automatically answers all incoming calls
using the

Rings to Answer

setting. If the call is a fax call, the

HP All-in-One will receive the fax. If the call is a voice call, the
HP All-in-One will create a special ring to indicate it is a voice
call. You will need to answer the incoming voice call using the
attached handset.

Note

If the HP All-in-One determines the call is a voice call,

only the HP All-in-One will ring with the special ring tone. The
other phones on the same phone line will not ring at all. You
will not be able to pick up the voice call using the other phones.

Tel

The HP All-in-One will not answer calls. You will need to receive
faxes manually.

AnswerMachine

The HP All-in-One will monitor the line when an incoming call is
answered by a person or by the answering machine. If the
HP All-in-One detects fax tones on the line, the HP All-in-One
receives the fax.
