case E: shared voice/fax line with PC modem

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

Note: Since your PC modem shares the telephone line with your

HP Officejet, you will not be able to use both your PC modem and your HP Officejet simultaneously. For example, while you are sending and receiving faxes, you will not be able to e-mail or access the Internet.

1Remove the white plug from the port labeled “2-EXT” on the back of your HP Officejet.

2Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your PC modem) to a telephone wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled “2-EXT” on the back of your HP Officejet.

3Connect a phone to the “out” port on the back of your PC modem.

4Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP Officejet, 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 Officejet.

Caution! If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to your HP Officejet, you probably will not be able to fax successfully. This special 2-wire cord is different from the more common 4-wire phone 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 146.

5If 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 Officejet will not be able to receive faxes.

6Follow the instructions below that apply to your HP Officejet.
