Chapter 3 tones, the HP All-in-One stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message. Case K: Shared voice/fax line with computer dial-up modem and voice mail If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, use a computer dial-up modem on the same phone line, and subscribe to a voice mail service through your telephone company, set up the HP All-in-One as described in this section. Note You cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a voice mail service at the same phone number you use for fax calls. You must receive faxes manually; this means you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls. If you want to receive faxes automatically instead, contact your telephone company to subscribe to a distinctive ring service, or to obtain a separate phone line for faxing. Since your computer dial-up modem shares the phone line with the HP All-in-One, you will not be able to use both your modem and the HP All-in-One simultaneously. For example, you cannot use the HP All-in-One for faxing if you are using your computer dial-up modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet. There are two different ways to set up the HP All-in-One with your computer based on the number of phone ports on your computer. Before you begin, check your computer to see if it has one or two phone ports. ● If your computer has only one phone port, you will need to purchase a parallel splitter (also called a coupler), as shown below. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a 2-line phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on the front and a plug on the back.) Example of a parallel splitter ● If your computer has two phone ports, set up the HP All-in-One as described below. Finish setup 52 HP Officejet 6300 All-in-One series
