telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled "2-EXT" on the back of your HP All-in-One. 3. Unplug your answering machine from the telephone wall jack, and connect it to the "OUT" port on the back of your computer modem. This allows a direct connection between the HP All-in-One and your answering machine, even though the computer modem is connected first in line. Note If you do not connect your answering machine in this way, fax tones from a sending fax machine might be recorded on your answering machine, and you might not be able to receive faxes with your HP All-inOne. 4. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP All-in-One, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled "1LINE" on the back of your HP All-in-One. Note If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to your 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. If the supplied phone cord is too short, see The phone cord that came with my HP All-in-One is not long enough for information on extending it. 5. (Optional) If your answering machine does not have a built-in phone, for convenience you might want to connect a phone to the back of your answering machine at the "OUT" port. 6. If your computer 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 computer modem software, your HP All-in-One will not be able to receive faxes. 7. Set the Auto Answer setting to On. For information on changing this setting, see Set the answer mode. 8. Set your answering machine to answer after four or fewer rings. 9. Change the Rings to Answer setting on your HP All-in-One to the maximum number of rings supported by your device. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.) For information on changing this setting, see Set the number of rings before answering. 10. Run a fax test. For information, see Test your 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 All-in-One monitors the call during this time, "listening" for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the HP All-in-One will emit fax reception tones and receive the fax; if there are no fax tones, the HP All-in-One stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message.
