case D: fax line shared with PC modem (no voice calls
received)
If you have a fax line on which you receive no voice calls, and you also have a
PC modem connected on this line, connect your HP Fax as described in this
section.
Note:
Since your PC modem shares the telephone line with your HP Fax,
you will not be able to use both your PC modem and your HP Fax
simultaneously. For example, while you are sending and receiving faxes,
you will not be able to e-mail or access the Internet.
1
Remove the white plug from the port labeled “2-EXT” on the back of your
HP Fax.
2
Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your
PC modem) to a telephone wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the
telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled “2-EXT” on the back
of your HP Fax.
3
Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP Fax, connect one
end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port
labeled “1-LINE” on the back of your HP Fax.
Caution!
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the
telephone wall jack to your HP Fax, you probably will not be able
to fax successfully. This special 2-wire cord is different from the
more common 4-wire phone cords you might already have in your
office. For more information about how to tell the difference
between the cords, see
I have difficulties when sending faxes and
when receiving faxes.
