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. If the answering machine and the HP All-in-One are set to the same number of rings to answer, both devices will answer the call and fax tones will be recorded on the answering machine. Set your answering machine to a low number of rings and the HP All-in-One to answer in the maximum number of rings supported. (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 Allin-One will receive the fax. If the call is a voice call, the answering machine will record the incoming message.

setting is correct. 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. If

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.
