Note If you do not connect your answering machine directly to your HP all-in-one, fax tones from a sending fax machine might be recorded on your answering machine, and you probably will not be able to receive faxes with your
HP all-in-one.
3Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP all-in-one, 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 all-in-one.
Caution If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to your HP all-in-one, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office. If the supplied phone cord is too short, see The phone cord that came with my HP all-in-one is not long enough for information on extending it.
4(Optional) If your answering machine does not have a built-in phone, for convenience you might want to connect a phone to the back of your answering machine at the "OUT" port.
5Set up the HP all-in-one to answer incoming calls automatically: a Press Setup, press 4, and then press 3.
This displays the Basic Fax Setup menu and then selects Auto Answer.
bPress 1 to select On.
cPress OK to accept the setting.
6Set your answering machine to answer after four or fewer rings.
7Change the Rings to Answer setting on your HP all-in-one to six rings. For information on changing this setting, see Set the number of rings before answering.
8Run a fax test. For information, see Test your fax setup.
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 all-in-one monitors the call during this time, "listening" for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the HP all- in-one will emit fax reception tones and receive the fax; if there are no fax tones, the HP all-in-one stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message.
Case J: Shared voice/fax line with PC modem and answering machineIf 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, set up your HP all-in-one as described in this section.
Since your PC modem shares the phone line with your HP all-in-one, you will not be able to use both your PC modem and your HP all-in-one simultaneously. For example, you cannot use your HP all-in-one for faxing if you are using your PC modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.
