Set rings to answer
You can select the number of rings that will occur before the fax answers an incoming
call. If you are using your machine as both a telephone and a fax machine, we suggest
you set the ring count to at least 4 to give you time to answer.
TIP: HP 1050 Fax: The Toll Saver function for the Digital Message Center interacts with
Rings to Answer. See Toll Saver on page 40. If you have the HP 1050 Fax and have Toll
Saver turned on, set the RIngs to Answer to 2.
