how to answer fax calls automatically
The HP Officejet is factory-set to answer all calls automatically after 5 rings, so
you do not need to change any settings if you want to automatically receive
faxes. Your HP Officejet will not be able to distinguish between fax and voice
calls in this case, however; if you suspect a voice call is incoming, you will need
to answer it before the 5th ring or the HP Officejet will answer first.
Note:
If you pick up the phone before the 5th ring and hear fax tones from
a sending fax machine, you will need to manually answer the fax call. For
information about how to receive fax calls manually from your attached
phone and from an extension phone, see
receive a fax manually

page 40.
