Chapter 3 4. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP All-in-One, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the HP All-in-One. Note If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the HP All-in-One, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office. 5. If your modem software is set to receive faxes to your computer automatically, turn off that setting. Note If you do not turn off the automatic fax reception setting in your modem software, the HP All-in-One will not be able to receive faxes. 6. Now you need to decide how you want the HP All-in-One to answer calls, automatically or manually: - If you set up the HP All-in-One to answer calls automatically, it answers all incoming calls and receives faxes. The HP All-in-One will not be able to distinguish between fax and voice calls in this case; if you suspect the call is a voice call, you will need to answer it before the HP All-in-One answers the call. To set up the HP All-in-One to answer calls automatically, turn on the Auto Answer setting. - If you set up the HP All-in-One to answer faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls or the HP All-in-One cannot receive faxes. To set up the HP All-in-One to answer calls manually, turn off the Auto Answer setting. 7. Run a fax test. If you pick up the phone before the HP All-in-One answers the call and hear fax tones from a sending fax machine, you will need to answer the fax call manually.
