Option Settings
Rings To Answer You can select the number of rings before answering an incoming call. If you
are using your machine as both a telephone and a fax machine (AUTO or
TAM mode), we suggest you set the ring count to at least 4 (HP 1040) or 2
(HP 1050 with Toll Saver turned on) to give you time to answer.
The number of rings can be 2 to 7.
Caller ID You can see the number of the person calling you. Before using this feature,
Caller ID service must be installed on your telephone line by the telephone
company.
The settings are
On

Use Caller ID on page 28.
Set Junk Fax No. If you have Caller ID set to

you can block faxes from
particular numbers. You must have received a fax from that number to block it.
Even though you have added junk fax numbers, if you turned off the Caller ID
option above, the Junk Fax protection will be removed. The settings are

machine can reduce the data to fit your paper. If the fax machine cannot fit the
data into one page with the feature enabled, the data is divided and printed
in actual size on two or more sheets. The settings are
On
and
