fax setup
When the phone rings, your answering machine will answer after the
number of rings you have set, and then play your recorded greeting. The
HP Officejet monitors the call during this time, “listening” for fax tones. If
incoming fax tones are detected, the HP Officejet will emit fax reception
tones and receive the fax; if there are no fax tones, the HP Officejet stops
monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice
message.
case G: shared voice/fax line with PC modem and answering
machine
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you
also have a PC modem and answering machine connected on this phone line,
connect your HP Officejet as described in this section.
Note:
Since your PC modem shares the telephone line with your
HP Officejet, you will not be able to use both your PC modem and your
HP Officejet 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 Officejet.
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 Officejet.
3
Unplug your answering machine from the telephone wall jack, and
connect it to the “out” port on the back of your PC modem.
This allows a direct connection between the HP Officejet and your
answering machine, even though the PC modem is connected first in line.
Caution!
If you do not connect your answering machine in this
way, fax tones from a sending fax machine could be recorded on
your answering machine, and you will probably not be able to
receive faxes with your HP Officejet.
