If you have an answering machine on this phone line, set your HP PSC to
answer the phone after the answering machine. The number of rings to

answer for the answering machine.

set up your hp psc to answer fax calls manually
In certain situations, you might want to receive faxes manually. For example, if
you share a line between your HP PSC and phone and you do not have
distinctive ringing, you will need to set up the HP PSC to answer fax calls
manually. This is because the HP PSC will not be able to distinguish between
fax calls and phone calls. When receiving faxes manually, you must be
available to respond in person to the incoming fax call, or your HP PSC cannot
receive faxes. For more information on receiving faxes manually, see
receive a
fax manually on page 61.
