connect and use a phone with your hp fax

You can set up your HP Fax to answer fax calls either automatically or manually when connected to a phone. The recommended method is to set your HP Fax to receive fax calls automatically. If you rarely receive faxes, however, you may want to set up your HP Fax to receive fax calls manually.

Note: When receiving faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to the incoming fax call, or your HP Fax cannot receive faxes.

to connect your hp fax to a phone

1Remove the white plastic stopper from connector 2 on the back of the HP Fax.

connector 2 on the HP Fax

2Connect the phone cord from the phone to connector 2.

Caution! Do not use the phone cord that came with the HP Fax for this purpose. That phone cord must connect connector 1 on the HP Fax to the wall jack for your phone system. See the Setup Poster for details.

how answer fax calls automatically

`Verify that Auto Answer is enabled. (The light next to Auto Answer is on when the feature is enabled. Press the Auto Answer button to turn the feature on or off.) When a fax call is received, the HP Fax will pick up and connect with the sending fax machine. Your fax will then be printed.

Note: If you pick up the phone before the HP Fax answers and hear fax tones, stay on the line until your HP Fax connects, and then hang up. Or, press 1 2 3 when you hear the fax tones to send the fax call immediately to the HP Fax. Once the HP Fax receives the fax call, the telephone will go silent. At this point, hang up your phone.

Note: After the HP Fax answers the fax call, any telephone connected directly to it will be temporarily disabled. This prevents any interruptions occurring during the fax.

how to answer fax calls manually

When receiving faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to the incoming fax call, or your HP Fax cannot receive faxes. See receive a fax on page 14 for more information. You can use either the telephone or the front panel to answer fax calls manually. Follow these steps:

1Press the Auto Answer button to turn off the Auto Answer feature (the Auto Answer light will go off).

2When your HP Fax rings, pick up the handset of a telephone that is on the same telephone line as your HP Fax.
