If you connect the device to a line with distinctive ring, have your telephone company
assign one ring pattern to voice calls and another ring pattern to fax calls. HP
recommends that you request double or triple rings for a fax number. When the device
detects the specified ring pattern, it answers the call and receives the fax.
If you do not have a distinctive ring service, use the default ring pattern, which is All
Rings.
NOTE: The HP fax cannot receive faxes when the main phone number is off the
hook.
To change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring via the device control panel
1. Verify that the device is set to answer fax calls automatically.
2. Press Setup.
3. Press right arrow
to select Basic Settings, and then press OK.
4. Press right arrow
to select Ring Pattern, and then press OK.
When the phone rings with the ring pattern assigned to your fax line, the device
answers the call and receives the fax.
Set the fax error correction mode
Typically, the device monitors the signals on the phone line while it is sending or
receiving a fax. If it detects an error signal during the transmission and the error-
correction setting is on, the device can request that a portion of the fax be resent.
Turn off error correction only if you are having trouble sending or receiving a fax, and
you want to accept the errors in the transmission. Turning off the setting might be
useful when you are trying to send a fax to another country/region or receive a fax
from another country/region, or if you are using a satellite phone connection.
To set the fax error-correction mode
1. Press Setup.
2. Press right arrow
to select Fax Settings, and then press OK.
3. Press right arrow
to select Error Correction, and then press OK.
4. Press right arrow
to select On or Off, and then press OK.
Set the dial type
Use this procedure to set tone-dialing or pulse-dialing mode. The factory-set default is
Tone. Do not change the setting unless you know that your phone line cannot use
tone dialing.
NOTE: The pulse-dialing option is not available in all countries/regions.
To set the dial type
1. Press Setup.
2. Press right arrow
to select Basic Settings, and then press OK.
3. Press right arrow
to select Tone or Pulse, and then press OK.
