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. 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. HP recommends 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.
