8. Now you need to decide how you want the HP All-in-One to answer calls,
automatically or manually:
•

turn off the Auto Answer setting.
9. Run a fax test.
If you pick up the phone before the HP All-in-One answers the call and hear fax tones
from a sending fax machine, you will need to answer the fax call manually.
