Set your answering machine to answer after a low number of rings. 7. Change the Rings to Answer setting on the printer to the maximum number of rings supported by your printer. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.) 8. Run a fax test. When the phone rings, your answering machine answers after the number of rings you have set, and then plays your recorded greeting. The printer monitors the call during this time, "listening" for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the printer emits fax reception tones and receives the fax; if there are no fax tones, the printer stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message. If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service provider or vendor for further assistance.
