• When a call comes in, the machine answers it. If a fax is being
sent, the device receives the fax. If the HP Fax does not sense a fax
signal, it will ring in a different tone to tell you it may be a regular
telephone call. If you do not pick up the handset it will again
attempt to receive the fax after several more rings. If a greeting has
been recorded the HP 1050 Fax will turn on the answering
machine and attempt to record a message.
