fax setup

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 phone cord is different from the more common 4-wire 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.

5Press the Answer Mode button on the front panel until AnswerMachine appears on the display.

6If your PC modem’s software is set to automatically receive faxes to your computer, turn off that setting.

Caution! If you do not turn off the auto fax receive setting in your PC modem software, your HP Fax will not be able to receive faxes.

how your hp fax will answer fax calls

When the phone rings, your answering machine will answer and then play your recorded greeting. The HP Fax monitors the call during this time, “listening” for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the HP Fax will emit fax reception tones and receive the fax; if there are no fax tones, the HP Fax stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message.
