This section contains the following topics: • Set the answer mode • Set the number of rings before answering • Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ringing Set the answer mode The answer mode determines whether the HP All-in-One answers incoming calls or not. • Turn on the Auto Answer setting if you want the HP All-in-One to answer faxes automatically. The HP All-in-One will answer all incoming calls and faxes. • Turn off the Auto Answer setting if you want to receive faxes manually. You must be available to respond in person to the incoming fax call or the HP All-in-One will not receive faxes. To set the answer mode ▲ Press Auto Answer to turn the light on or off, as appropriate for your setup. When the Auto Answer light is on, the HP All-in-One answers calls automatically. When the light is off, the HP All-in-One does not answer calls. Set the number of rings before answering If you turn on the Auto Answer setting, you can specify how many rings should occur before the HP All-in-One automatically answers the incoming call. The Rings to Answer setting is important if you have an answering machine on the same phone line as the HP All-in-One, because you want the answering machine to answer the phone before the HP All-in-One does. The number of rings to answer for the HP Allin-One should be greater than the number of rings to answer for the answering machine. 62 Finish setting up the HP All-in-One
