Note

When the HP all-in-one is forwarding your faxes, it will not print the faxes it
receives unless there was a problem. If the HP all-in-one is not able to forward
the fax to the designated fax machine (if it is not turned on, for example), the
HP all-in-one will print the fax and an error report.

We recommend that you verify the number you are forwarding to works. Send a test fax
to make sure the fax machine is able to receive your forwarded faxes.

Change the answer ring pattern (distinctive ringing)

Many phone companies offer a distinctive ringing feature that allows you to have
several phone numbers on one phone line. When you subscribe to this service, each
number will have a different ring pattern. For example, you can have single, double, and
triple rings for the different numbers. You can set up your HP all-in-one to answer
incoming calls that have a specific ring pattern.
If you connect your HP all-in-one to a line with distinctive ringing, have your telephone
company assign one ring pattern to voice calls and another ring pattern to fax calls. We
recommend that you request double or triple rings for a fax number. When the HP all-
in-one detects the specified ring pattern, it will answer the call and receive the fax.
For example, you might have your telephone company assign double rings to your fax
number and a single ring to your voice number. In this setup, set the

Answer Ring

Pattern

for your HP all-in-one to

Double Rings

. You can also set the

Rings to Answer

setting to

3

. When a call comes in with a double ring, the HP all-in-one answers it after

three rings and receives the fax.
If you do not have this service, use the default ring pattern, which is

All Rings

.

To change the answer ring pattern from the control panel

1

Verify that your HP all-in-one is set to answer fax calls automatically. For
