as described in Fax setup . If you do not connect the answering machine as
recommended, fax tones might be recorded on your answering machine.
● Make sure your HP All-in-One is set to receive faxes automatically. If your
HP All-in-One is set up to receive faxes manually, the HP All-in-One will not
answer incoming calls. You must be available to respond in person to
incoming fax calls, or the HP All-in-One will not receive the fax and your
answering machine will record the fax tones. For information on setting up
your HP All-in-One to receive faxes automatically, see
Set up the HP All-in-
One to receive faxes .
● Make sure the Rings to Answer setting is correct. 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. If the answering machine and the HP All-
in-One are set to the same number of rings to answer, both devices will
answer the call, and fax tones will be recorded on the answering machine.
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. For information on setting the number of rings to answer,
see

I hear static on my phone line since connecting the HP All-in-One
Solution
●
Make sure you used the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP All-in-
One to connect to the telephone wall jack. One end of the phone cord should
be connected to the port labeled "1-LINE" on the back of your HP All-in-One
and the other end to your telephone wall jack. If the supplied phone cord is
not long enough, you can extend it. For information, see
The phone cord that
came with my HP All-in-One is not long enough .
● If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause static on the phone line. (A
splitter is a two-cord connector that plugs into a telephone wall jack.) Try
removing the splitter and connecting the HP All-in-One directly to the
telephone wall jack.
● If you are not using a proper grounded power outlet for your HP All-in-One,
you might hear static on your phone line. Try connecting to another power
outlet.
The phone cord that came with my HP All-in-One is not long enough
Solution If the phone cord that came with your HP All-in-One is not long
enough, you can use a coupler to extend the length. You can purchase a coupler
at an electronics store that carries phone accessories. You will also need another
phone cord, which can be a standard phone cord that you might already have in
your home or office.
