how to choose the right fax setup for your office

To fax successfully, you need to know what types of equipment and services (if any) share the same telephone line with your HP Officejet. This is important because you might need to connect some of your existing office equipment directly to your HP Officejet, and you might also need to change some fax settings before you can fax successfully.

To determine the best way to set up the HP Officejet in your office, first read through the questions in this section and record your answers. Next, refer to the table in the following section and choose the recommended setup case based on your answers.

Be sure to read and answer the following questions in the order they are presented.

1Do you subscribe to a distinctive ring service through your phone company that provides multiple phone numbers with different ring patterns?

!Yes, I have distinctive ring.

!No.

If you answered “Yes,” proceed directly to case B: faxing with a distinctive ring service on the same line on page 96. You do not need to continue answering questions.

If you answered “No,” please continue answering questions.

Not sure if you have distinctive ring? Many phone companies offer a distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on one phone line.

When you subscribe to this service, each number will have a different ring pattern—for example, single, double, and triple rings. You might assign one phone number with a single ring to your voice calls, and another phone number with double rings to your fax calls. This allows you—and your HP Officejet—to tell the difference between voice and fax calls when the phone rings.
