Your fax is sent when the receiving fax machine answers.
Receive a fax
Your HP All-in-One can receive faxes automatically or manually, depending on the
answer mode that you set. If the light next to the
Auto Answer button is on, your
HP All-in-One automatically answers incoming calls and receives faxes. If the light is
off, you need to receive faxes manually. For more information on the answer mode,
see
Set up the HP All-in-One to receive faxes .
Tip You can set up the HP All-in-One to print received faxes on both sides of
the page to save paper. For information, see Set up the HP All-in-One to print
single- or two-sided faxes .
Note If you installed a photo or gray photo print cartridge for printing photos,
you might want to replace it with the black print cartridge when receiving faxes.
See
Work with print cartridges .
Set the number of rings before answering
You can specify how many rings should occur before your HP All-in-One automatically
answers the incoming call.
Note This setting only applies if your HP All-in-One is set to receive faxes
automatically.
The Rings to Answer setting is important if you have an answering machine on the
same phone line as your HP All-in-One. The answering machine must answer the call
before your HP All-in-One. The number of rings to answer for the HP All-in-One
should be greater than the number of rings to answer for the answering machine.
For example, set your answering machine to answer in 4 rings and your HP All-in-One
to answer in the maximum number of rings supported by your device. (The maximum
number of rings varies by country/region.) In this setup, the answering machine will
answer the call and the HP All-in-One will monitor the line. If the HP All-in-One detects
fax tones, the HP All-in-One will receive the fax. If the call is a voice call, the
answering machine will record the incoming message.
