HP C7100 manual Case I Shared voice/fax line with answering machine, Answering machine

Chapter 3

5.If your 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 modem software, the HP All-in-One will not be able to receive faxes.

6.Now you need to decide how you want the HP All-in-One to answer calls, automatically or manually:

–If you set up the HP All-in-One to answer calls automatically, it answers all incoming calls and receives faxes. The HP All-in-One will not be able to distinguish between fax and voice calls in this case; if you suspect the call is a voice call, you will need to answer it before the HP All-in-One answers the call. To set up the HP All-in-One to answer calls automatically, turn on the Auto Answer setting.

–If you set up the HP All-in-One to answer faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls or the HP All-in-One cannot receive faxes. To set up the HP All-in-One to answer calls manually, turn off the Auto Answer setting.

7.Run a fax test.

If you pick up the phone before the HP All-in-One answers the call and hear fax tones from a sending fax machine, you will need to answer the fax call manually.

Case I: Shared voice/fax line with answering machine

If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also have an answering machine that answers voice calls at this phone number, set up the HP All-in-One as described in this section.
