how your hp fax will answer fax calls

The HP Fax automatically answers all incoming calls based on the RIngs to
Answer setting. If the call is a fax call, the HP Fax will receive the fax.
If the call is a voice call, the HP Fax will create a special ring to indicate it
is a voice call. You will need to answer the incoming voice call using the
handset. You should not answer voice calls from other telephones on the
line. The device cannot tell that you picked up the extension phone and
will keep ringing. You will have to press Cancel on the HP Fax to stop the
ringing.
