Set the answer mode

The answer mode determines whether the HP All-in-One answers incoming calls or

not. The following modes are available:

Fax

The HP All-in-One will automatically answer incoming calls and

receive faxes after the number of rings specified by the Rings to

Answer setting. This is the default setting.

FaxTel (handset

model only)

The HP All-in-One automatically answers all incoming calls

using the Rings to Answer setting. If the call is a fax call, the

HP All-in-One will receive the fax. If the call is a voice call, the

HP All-in-One will create a special ring to indicate it is a voice

call. You will need to answer the incoming voice call using the

attached handset.

Note If the HP All-in-One determines the call is a voice call,

only the HP All-in-One will ring with the special ring tone. The

other phones on the same phone line will not ring at all. You

will not be able to pick up the voice call using the other phones.

Tel The HP All-in-One will not answer calls. You will need to receive

faxes manually.

AnswerMachine The HP All-in-One will monitor the line when an incoming call is

answered by a person or by the answering machine. If the

HP All-in-One detects fax tones on the line, the HP All-in-One

receives the fax.

To set the answer mode

1. Press Answer Mode to scroll through the available modes on the HP All-in-One.

2. When the appropriate option for your setup is shown on the display, press OK to

select it.

Set the number of rings before answering

If you set the Answer Mode to Fax, FaxTel (handset model only), or

AnswerMachine you can specify how many rings should occur before the HP All-in-

One automatically answers the incoming call.
