Press   until the number of rings before answering is highlighted.
If you have an answering machine on this phone line, set your HP PSC to 
answer the phone after the answering machine. The number of rings to 
answer for the HP PSC should be greater than the number of rings to 
answer for the answering machine. 
You want the answering machine to answer before your HP PSC. The 
HP PSC monitors calls and will answer if it detects fax tones.

If you have a modem on this phone line, turn off the setting in the modem’s 
software that automatically receives faxes to your computer; otherwise, 
your HP PSC will not receive faxes properly.
For information on setting up your HP PSC with other office equipment, such as 
answering machines and voice mail, se
set up your hp psc to answer fax calls manually 
In certain situations, you might want to receive faxes manually. For example, if 
you share a line between your HP PSC and phone and you do not have 
distinctive ringing, you will need to set up the HP PSC to answer fax calls 
manually. This is because the HP PSC will not be able to distinguish between 
fax calls and phone calls. When receiving faxes manually, you must be 
available to respond in person to the incoming fax call, or your HP PSC cannot 
receive faxes. For more information on receiving faxes manually, see
