Setting Backup Reception
If
Backup Reception=On
(the factory setting), incoming paper faxes will be received to memory in the
following circumstances:
:
The paper tray is empty.
:
The wrong paper size is loaded for fax reception (only Letter, Legal, and A4 paper are valid for faxes).
:
The print cartridge is out of ink.
:
The print cartridge is not installed.
:
There's a paper jam.
Once the error has been corrected (for example, correct paper is loaded), the faxes stored in memory will
print immediately.
If
Backup Reception=Off
, the HP OfficeJet LX will not answer incoming calls in any of the circumstances
listed above, and you will not receive any incoming faxes until the error is corrected.
Note:
If you are printing a file from your PC or copying when a fax is received, the fax is always saved to
memory, regardless of the
Backup Reception
setting. When printing or copying is complete, faxes
stored in memory will print immediately.
Enabling Distinctive Ring
The
Distinctive Ring
setting, used in conjunction with your telephone company's distinctive ringing service,
allows the HP OfficeJet LX to distinguish between voice calls and fax calls when you receive both on the
same phone line.
What is a Distinctive Ringing Service?
A distinctive ringing service allows you to have two or three phone numbers on the same phone line, which
saves you the cost of paying for separate lines. You and the HP OfficeJet LX can tell which phone number
has been dialed because each number has a distinctive ring: the first phone number has a single ring, the
second has a double ring, and the third has a triple ring.
The factory setting is
Distinctive Ring=Off
. Before changing this setting, if you do not already have a
distinctive ringing service, ask your telephone company if such a service is available in your area. (At the
time of publication, distinctive ringing services, which are called by various names in different areas, are
available only in certain parts of the U.S. and in some Asian countries.)
If a distinctive ringing service is available and you want to use this feature, ask your telephone company to
assign the single ring to the phone number on which you want to receive voice calls,andthemultiple rings to
the phone number(s) on which you want to receive fax calls. Then check the
Distinctive Ring
checkbox, so
that the HP OfficeJet LX will answer the phone and receive faxes only when it detects a multiple ring.
