case G: shared voice/fax line with PC modem and answering machine

fax setup

chapter 13

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

case G: shared voice/fax line with PC modem and answering machine

If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also have a PC modem and answering machine connected on this phone line, connect your HP PSC as described in this section.

Note: Since your PC modem shares the telephone line with your HP PSC, you will not be able to use both simultaneously. For example, while you are sending and receiving faxes, you will not be able to e-mail or access the Internet.
