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, single,
double, and triple rings.
If you connect your HP Fax to a line with distinctive ringing, have your telephone
company assign one ring pattern to voice calls and another to fax calls. We
recommend that you request double or triple rings for a fax number. When the
HP Fax detects the specified ring pattern, it will answer the calls and receive the
fax.
If you do not have this service, use the default ring pattern, which is All Rings.
