like a normal phone until you answer it yourself.
If a voice caller wants to send a fax.
If the caller wants to send a fax after your

replace the handset.
If you hear fax tones.

With answer machine
Set this mode when you connect an answering
machine to your PaperJet 300. Your answering
machine will automatically take voice messages and
PaperJet 300 will take faxes.
When your PaperJet 300 rings it will wait for the
answering machine to take the call. If there are fax
tones or no incoming voice message it will
automatically try to receive a fax. Remember, it is
advisable to say in your outgoing message that the
caller can send a fax after the tone.
If the answering machine is switched off, your
PaperJet 300 will answer the call after 7 rings. Your
answering machine should be set to answer after
less than 7 rings, see Connecting an answering
machine, page 30.
Receiving faxes into the memory
If you run out of paper or the ink cartridge is empty,
your PaperJet 300 will automatically store incoming
faxes into the memory. The memory can store up to
20 pages of the standard letter, see page 60.
Auto receive
Your PaperJet 300 answers each call after 5 rings
and receives faxes automatically. If the call is a voice
call, the phone will ring again for a further 5 rings
(secondary ringing) and you can answer the call by
picking up the handset. If you do not answer, the
machine will try to receive the call as a fax. During
secondary ringing the caller will hear a beep every
2 seconds to reassure them that the line is active.
You can adjust the number of rings your machine
gives. See ‘Optional Settings’, page 41.
If you are using your PaperJet 300 as a fax machine
only, we recommend that you switch the second set
of rings off. See ‘Optional Settings’, page 41.
If you accidentally answer a fax call.
If you pick up the handset and you hear fax tones,
simply press the Start button, replace the handset and
the fax will be received.
