Answer/receive mode
DRPD OK
will display when the pattern has been learned and the HP Fax will return
to Ready mode.
Step 2—Set up distinctive ring (DRPD) answer mode
Once you have activated distinctive ring, it becomes one of the answering modes you
can select by pressing the Ans.Mode/Contrast or Rcv.Mode/Contrast button.
! Press Ans.Mode/Contrast or Rcv.Mode/Contrast repeatedly until
DRPD Mode
appears in the display.
• In Ready mode,
DR
appears in the right hand corner of the display.
• Now, the HP Fax will manage calls and faxes as if it were set to AUTO mode (see
AUTO mode on page 32.)
TIP: Distinctive ring must be set up again if you reassign your fax number or connect
the machine to another telephone line. Once set up again (that is, the fax machine has
learned the ring pattern and the answering mode is correctly set), you should test the fax
machine by calling the fax number and another number on the same line. The machine
should respond appropriately to a call placed to the fax number with fax tones, and to a
normal telephone call with the expected ring pattern.
Answer/receive mode
How the product receives faxes depends on the answer/receive mode you chose when
you set up the product. You can send faxes in any answer/receive mode. The answer/
receive mode setting determines how the device answers the incoming call and varies
between the models.
