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.
