Using an External Answering Machine
To use an external answering machine with your HP Fax follow these steps.
1 Set the Answer Mode to FAX. See “Setting the Answer Mode” on
page 8.
2 Set the Fax Ring Count to be higher than the external answering
machine’s ring count. See “Setting the FAX Ring” on page 10.
For example, set the external answering machine to answer in 4 rings
and set the Fax Ring Count to be 6 rings.
The HP Fax will listen for fax tones once the answering machine has
answered and will receive a fax if fax tones are heard. Your answering
machine may record the fax tones.
