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.

1 Telephone wall jack

2 Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP Photosmart to connect to the "1-LINE"

port

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.
