case I: shared voice/fax line with PC modem and voice mail

Note: The HP Fax cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a voice mail service, so you must be available to respond in person (manually) to incoming fax calls. If you want to receive faxes automatically instead, contact your phone company to subscribe to a distinctive ring service, or to obtain a separate phone line for faxing.

If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, use a PC modem on the same phone line, and also subscribe to a voice mail service through your phone company, 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.

1Remove the white plug from the port labeled “2-EXT” on the back of your HP Fax.

2Find 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.

3Connect a phone to the “out” port on the back of your PC modem.

4Using 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. on page 105.
