How to Receive Faxes
Two settings affect how you receive faxes:
● Auto Answer: With Auto Answer on (green light is lit), the HP
OfficeJet will automatically answer every fax call. With Auto
Answer off, you must answer fax calls manually (see page 1-7).
● Rings to Answer: When Auto Answer is on, the HP OfficeJet will
automatically answer all calls after the number of rings you
specify in this setting.
If your phone line receives both fax and voice calls you can set your
HP OfficeJet to answer fax calls while your answering machine (or
computer voice mail) answers voice calls. Here’s how:
Press Auto Answer so the green light is on.
Set your answering device to answer before the HP OfficeJet (see
Rings to Answer on page 3-11). Be sure your recorded greeting is
between 10 and 30 seconds.
Then when the telephone rings, your answering device will answer
first and the HP OfficeJet will “listen” while your greeting plays. If
the HP OfficeJet hears fax tones, it will cut off the answering device
and receive the fax.
Changing your fax receive settings
If you add equipment to the same line as your HP OfficeJet, you must
update your fax receive settings to receive faxes properly. Here’s
how:
Double-click HP OfficeJet Manager on your desktop.
Click Settings and select Fax Setup. Then select Fax Setup
Wizard.
Referring to the previous section, follow the instructions on each
Fax Setup Wizard screen.
Stand-alone users should refer to steps 6, 16, and 17 on the Quick
Setup Sheet. To set Rings to Answer, see page 3-11.
