When the phone rings, the HP Fax will answer automatically after the number of rings
you set in the Rings to Answer setting. Then it will begin emitting fax reception tones
to the sending fax machine and receive the fax.
Case B: Set up the HP Fax with DSL
If you have a DSL service through your telephone company, use the instructions in
this section to connect a DSL filter between the telephone wall jack and the HP Fax.
The DSL filter removes the digital signal that can interfere with the HP Fax, so the
HP Fax can communicate properly with the phone line. (DSL might be called ADSL in
your country/region.)
Note If you have a DSL line and you do not connect the DSL filter, you will
not be able to send and receive faxes with the HP Fax.
