HP Officejet 6210 - Set the number of rings before answering

Set the number of rings before answering

You can specify how many rings should occur before your HP all-in-one automatically
answers the incoming call.

Note

This setting only applies if your HP all-in-one is set to receive faxes

automatically.

The

Rings to Answer

setting is important if you have an answering machine on the

same phone line as your HP all-in-one. The answering machine must answer the call
before your HP all-in-one. 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 4 rings 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-in-one detects
fax tones, the HP all-in-one will receive the fax. If the call is a voice call, the answering
machine will record the incoming message.
