Set the number of rings before answering
If you set the
Auto Answer
setting to
On
, you can specify how many rings should
occur before your HP All-in-One automatically answers the incoming call.
The
Rings to Answer
setting is important if you have an answering machine on the
same phone line as your HP All-in-One, because you want the answering machine to
answer the phone before the HP All-in-One does. The number of rings to answer for
the HP All-in-One should be greater than the number of rings to answer for the
answering machine.
For example, set your answering machine to answer in four rings or fewer and your
HP All-in-One to answer in the maximum number of rings supported by your device.
(The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.) In this setup, the answering
machine will answer the call and the HP All-in-One will monitor the line. If the HP All-

call, the answering machine will record the incoming message.
