HP OJ4650 Guida Utente

The answer mode determines whether the printer answers incoming calls.

●

Turn on the Auto Answer setting if you want the printer to answer faxes automatically. The printer

answers all incoming calls and faxes.

●

Turn off the Auto Answer setting if you want to receive faxes manually. You must be available to

respond in person to the incoming fax call or else the printer does not receive faxes.

From the printer control panel display, touch Fax .

Touch Setup , and then touch Preferences .

Touch Auto Answer to turn it on or off.

You may also access this feature by touching 

 (the Fax Status icon) on the Home screen.

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.

From the printer control panel display, touch Fax .

Touch Setup , and then touch Preferences .

Touch Rings to Answer .

Touch the number of rings.

Touch Done to accept the setting.

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.

You can also use the Ring Pattern Detection feature in the printer 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.
