The HP All-in-One will not automatically answer calls.
Instead, the HP All-in-One will monitor the line when
the call is answered by a person or by the answering
machine. If the HP All-in-One detects fax tones on the
line, the HP All-in-One receives the fax. If the
answering machine answers a voice call, the
answering machine records the incoming message.
On the HP All-in-One, set the number of rings to wait
before answering to a greater number of rings than the
answering machine. You want the answering machine
to answer before the HP All-in-One.
NOTE:
To make sure the answering machine is set
up properly with the HP All-in-One, see the Fax setup
section in the printed documentation that came with
the HP All-in-One.

calls with a specified ring pattern. Make sure the ring
pattern the phone company set for your fax line
matches the Distinctive Ring setting on the HP All-

Change the answer ring pattern for 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 the HP All-in-One to answer incoming calls
that have a specific ring pattern.
If you connect the 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.
If you do not have a distinctive ring service, use the default ring pattern, which is All
Rings.
To change the distinctive ring pattern from the control panel
1.
Verify that the product is set to answer fax calls automatically after a specified number
of rings.
2.
Press the button next to Scan/Fax.
