Phone Calls going to the fax machine

If the phone rings too long it goes to the fax machine rather than to the message system. How do I fix this. Is there a manual you can download nothing came with the machine.

There is a PDF file on the CD. It may be helpful. When you set up your fax, did you set your ring-to-answer 2 rings more than your message system? If you don't have the CD, I can email you the PDF file. [email protected]. Let me know.

How to receive a fax--i can send a fax but not receive

Not sure what this has to do with a 7630 phone, but you forgot to mention if the fax machine rings when a call comes in and if it's set up to answer on incoming calls, or is it just not ringing at all.

If the call goes out, dial 800-444-4444 and double check the line the fax machine is on. Make sure you're not dialing "9" to get an outside line, and if it happens to be truly on a TDA phone system, then the jack you're using has to be programmed to ring.

I have a PIXMA MX850 printer. The system was preset to fax priority mode so I had to keep the printer off to use my phone line which is 99% voice and 1% fax. I have now configured the printer to TEL...

It will only automatically pick up the line when set to "fax". You need to subscribe to a "distinctive" ring (which is a double ring) service through your telephone company and set the rings to answer appropriately so as to not conflict with your voicemail

Fax machine will not reset to be able to answer the phone

When you set your fax machine to answer on a certain number of rings it will answer it on that number of rings expecting it to be another fax machine. If you do not answer it before the aloted number of rings you will not be able to talk since the fax machine will be trying to talk in computer speak. To help you may want to set it to answer after more rings.

Have to be near fax machine to recieve fax

The Rings to Answer feature might not be set to answer after the
appropriate number of rings for your office setup.
If you have a voice mail service at the same phone number you use
for fax calls, you must receive faxes manually, not automatically. For
information on how to receive faxes manually, see receive a fax
manually from a phone
on page 48.
If you have a PC modem on the same phone line with your
HP Officejet, check to make sure that the modem’s software is not
set to receive faxes automatically. Modems with this auto fax
receive feature turned on will take over the phone line to receive all
incoming faxes, which will prevent the HP Officejet from receiving
fax calls.
If you have an answering machine on the same phone line with
your HP Officejet, you might have one of the following problems:
Your outgoing message might be too long or too loud to allow
the HP Officejet to detect fax tones, and the calling fax machine
might disconnect.
Your answering machine might not have enough quiet time after
your outgoing message to allow the HP Officejet to detect fax
tones. This problem is more common with digital answering
machines.
The following actions might help solve these problems:
a. Disconnect the answering machine and then try receiving a fax.
If faxing is successful without it, the answering machine might
be causing the problem.
b. Reconnect the answering machine and re-record your outgoing
message. Make sure the message is as short as possible (no
more than 10 seconds long), and that you speak softly and
slowly when recording it. Try again to receive a fax.
If you have a special ring pattern for your fax phone number (using
a distinctive ring service through your telephone company), make
sure that the Answer Ring Pattern feature on your HP Officejet is set
to match. For example, if the phone company has assigned your
fax number a double ring pattern, make sure Double Rings is
selected as the Answer Ring Pattern setting. For information on
changing this setting, see change the answer ring pattern
(distinctive ringing)
on page 63.
Note that some ring patterns cannot be recognized by the
HP Officejet, such as those with alternating short and long ringing
patterns. If you are having problems with a ring pattern of this type,
ask your phone company to assign a non-alternating ring pattern.
