Installation and Configuration 2Ć35
In the Telephone Answering Machine Interface Mode, the answering machine attached to the HP FAX-900 or
FAX-950 will answer all incoming calls and begin the outgoing message you recorded on the answering machine tape.
The HP FAX-900 or FAX-950 will not pick up the line. During the outgoing message, the fax machine will monitor
the incoming line for a fax tone signal.
If the HP FAX-900 or FAX-950 detects a fax tone signal, the fax machine will automatically take over the call and start
to communicate with the calling fax machine to receive the fax.
If a fax tone signal is not detected, the answering machine accepts the voice call and records the message.
The remote reception feature of your HP FAX-900 or FAX-950 allows you to still receive a fax call if you’ve picked up
the telephone, attached to the answering machine, before the answering machine starts its outgoing message. In order
to receive the fax calls, you must first set fax parameter 47 to option 2 (valid). Refer to Fax Parameters in chapter 4.
Then, if you answer the phone before the answering machine starts the outgoing message and you receive a fax call,
which is recognized by the “beep” in the receiver, you can still receive the fax by pressing the * button on the phone
twice and then hanging up.
It is recommended that you set the time in fax parameter 19 to the same length of time as the outgoing message on your
answering machine. Factory set time is 20 seconds. To change the time in fax parameter 19, refer to Fax Parameters in
chapter 4.
