Set the number of rings before answering
If you turn on the  Auto Answer setting, you can specify how many rings occur before
incoming calls are automatically answered.
The  Rings to Answer  setting is important if you have an answering machine on the
same phone line as the printer, because you want the answering machine to answer
the phone before the printer does. The number of rings to answer for the printer should
be greater than the number of rings to answer for the answering machine.
For example, set your answering machine to a low number of rings and the printer to
answer in the maximum number of rings. (The maximum number of rings varies by
country/region.) In this setup, the answering machine answers the call and the printer
monitors the line. If the printer  detects fax tones, it receives the fax. If the call is a voice
call, the answering machine records the incoming message.
To set the number of rings before answering

 (right arrow), and then touch  Setup.

Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring
Many phone companies offer a distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several
phone numbers on one phone line. When you subscribe to this service, each number is
assigned a different ring pattern. You can set  up the printer to answer incoming calls
that have a specific ring pattern.
If you connect the printer 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 printer
detects the specified ring pattern, it  answers the call and receives the fax.
TIP:You can also use the Ring Pattern Detection feature in the printer’s control
panel to set distinctive ring. With this  feature, the printer recognizes and records the
ring pattern of an incoming call and, based  on this call, automatically determines
the distinctive ring pattern assigned  by your telephone company to fax calls.
If you do not have a distinctive ring service, use the default ring pattern, which is  All
Rings .
NOTE: The printer cannot receive faxes when  the main phone number is off the
hook.

							Fax and digital phone services
Many telephone companies provide their customers with digital pho ne services, such
as the following:
• DSL: A Digital subscriber line (DSL)  service through your telephone company.
(DSL might be called AD SL in your country/region.)
• PBX: A private branch exchange (PBX) phone system.
• ISDN: An integrated services digital network (ISDN) system.
• FoIP: A low-cost phone service that allows you to send and receive faxes with your printer by using the Internet. This method is called Fax over Internet Protocol
(FoIP). For more information, see 
Fax over Internet Protocol.
HP printers are designed specifically for use with traditional analog phone services. If
you are in a digital phone  environment (such as DSL/ADSL, PBX, or ISDN), you might
need to use digital -to-analog filters or co nverters when setting up th e printer for faxing.
NOTE:HP does not guarantee that the printer will be compatible with all digital
service lines or providers, in all digital environments, or with all digital-to-analog
converters. It is alwa ys recommended that you discuss wi th the telephone company
directly for the correct setup options ba sed on their line services provided.
Fax over Internet Protocol
You might be able to subscribe to a low cost phone service that allows you to send and
receive faxes with your printer by using the Internet. This method is called Fax over
Internet Protocol (FoIP).
You probably use a FoIP  service (provided by your  telephone company) when you:
• Dial a special access code along with the fax number, or
• Have an IP converter box that connects to the Internet and provides analog phone ports for the fax connection.
NOTE: You can only send and receive faxes by connecting a phone cord to the
port labeled "1-LINE" on the printer. This means that your connection to the Internet
must be done either through a converter box (which supplies regular analog phone
jacks for fax connections) or your telephone company.
TIP: Support for traditional fax transmission over any Internet protocol telephone
systems are often limited. If you experience problems faxing, try using a slower fax
speed or disabling the  fax error-correction mode  (ECM). However, if you turn off
ECM, you cannot send and  receive color faxes. (For more  information about
changing the fax speed, see 
Set the fax speed. For more information about using
ECM, see 
Send a fax in Error Correction Mode.
If you have questions about Internet faxing, contact your Internet faxing services
support department or your local service provider for  further assistance.

							Use reports
You can set up the printer to print error reports and confirmation reports automatically
for each fax you send and receive. You can also manually print system reports as
required; these reports provide useful system information about the printer.
By default, the printer is set to print a report only if there is a problem sending or
receiving a fax. A confirmation message that indicates whether a fax was successfully
sent appears briefly on the control-panel display after each transaction.
NOTE: If the reports are not legible, you can check the estimated ink levels from
the control panel or t he HP software. For  more information, see 
Printer
management tools.
NOTE:Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes
only. When you receive a low-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge
available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink
cartridges until prompted to do so.
NOTE: Ensure that the printhead and ink cartridges are in good condition and
installed properly. For more information, see 
Work with ink cartridges.
