Troubleshooting and support 4 Telephone (optional) 5 Answering machine 6 Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP All-in-One Make sure the HP All-in-One is set to receive faxes automatically and that the Rings to Answer 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. 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 by your device. (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 All-in-One will receive the fax. If the call is a voice call, the answering machine will record the incoming message. Cause You have a special ring pattern for your fax phone number (using a distinctive ring service through your telephone company), and the Distinctive Ring setting on the HP All-inOne does not match. Solution If you have a special ring pattern for your fax phone number (using a distinctive ring service through your telephone company), make sure that the Distinctive Ring setting on the HP All-in-One is set to match. For example, if the phone company has assigned your number a double ring pattern, make sure Double Rings is selected as the Distinctive Ring setting. Note The HP All-in-One cannot recognize some ring patterns, such as those with alternating short and long ringing patterns. If you are having problems with a ring pattern of this type, ask your phone company to assign a non-alternating ring pattern. If you are not using a distinctive ring service, make sure that the Distinctive Ring setting on the HP All-in-One is set to All Rings. Cause The Distinctive Ring setting is not set to All Rings (and you are not using a distinctive ring service). Solution If you are not using a distinctive ring service, make sure that the Distinctive Ring setting on the HP All-in-One is set to All Rings. Cause The fax signal level might not be strong enough, which can cause fax reception problems. Solution If the HP All-in-One shares the same phone line with other types of phone equipment, such as an answering machine, a computer dial-up modem, or a multi-port switch box, the fax signal level might be reduced. The signal level can also be reduced if you use a splitter or connect extra cables to extend the length of your phone. A reduced fax signal can cause problems during fax reception. ● If you are using a splitter or extension cables, try removing them and connecting the HP All-in-One directly to the telephone wall jack. ● To find out if other equipment is causing a problem, disconnect everything except the HP All-in-One from the phone line, and then try to receive a fax. If you can receive faxes successfully without the other equipment, one or more pieces of the other equipment is causing problems; try adding them back one at a time and receiving a fax each time, until you identify which equipment is causing the problem. Cause The memory of the HP All-in-One is full. Solution If Backup Fax Reception is enabled and there is an error condition on the HP Allin-One, the memory might become full of faxes that have not yet been printed and the HP Allin-One will stop answering calls. If an error condition exists that is preventing the HP All-in- Basics Guide 89
