Specifying rings to answer
You can specify how many rings should occur before the All–in–One printer
automatically answers an incoming call. This setting applies only if the fax
auto–answer feature is set to
On .
The rings–to–answer setting is critically important for you if an answering machine
shares the same phone line as your All-in-One printer, because the answering
machine must answer the phone first. If this parameter is not set correctly, the
answering machine cannot record any incoming calls.
NOTE: If you use a voice messaging service instead of an answering machine, this
option is not effective. See Setting fax auto–answer below and Specifying a
distinctive ring for fax auto–answer, page 41 .
The All–in–One printer monitors every call into the phone line, including calls picked
up by the answering machine. If it detects incoming fax tones, it will receive the fax.
It ignores any call that does not transmit the fax tones and allows the answering
machine to record it.
Set the number of rings-to-answer for the printer to exceed the number rings set for
the answering machine.
NOTE: This ESP 9 All–in–One printer allows you to specify the rings–to–answer
from 1–6 rings. Make sure your answering machine is set to answer calls in
fewer rings than your choice for rings–to–answer for your printer. For more
information, see
Fax Settings options, page 42 .
Setting fax auto–answer
When set to On , the All–in–One printer accepts incoming fax transmissions
automatically, based on the number set in rings–to–answer (see Specifying rings to
answer above).
If your fax phone line is configured to work through a computer modem, disable fax
auto-answer.
