Chapter 3 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 dialup 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.

this means you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls. If

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

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
