HP LaserJet 3055 All in One Printer - Setting the answer mode

Setting the answer mode

Depending on your situation, you can set the all-in-one answer mode to Automatic or Manual. The
factory-set default is Automatic.

●

Automatic: In this answer mode, the all-in-one answers incoming calls after a specified number
of rings or upon recognition of special fax tones. To specify the number of rings, see

Changing

the rings-to-answer setting

.

●

Manual: In this answer mode, the all-in-one never answers calls. You must start the fax-
receiving process yourself, either by pressing

Start Fax

on the control panel or by picking up a

telephone that is connected to that line and dialing 1-2-3 (in tone-dial mode only).

NOTE

Although most users leave the answer mode set to Automatic, voice callers who dial

the fax telephone number will hear fax tones if the telephone is not answered, or if they do not
hang up by the specified number of rings-to-answer. If you do not want voice callers to hear
fax tones, use the Manual setting. But remember that fax calls are not received automatically
when the mode is set to Manual.
