Fax tones are recorded on my answering machine

Solution

When you have an answering machine on the same phone line you use for fax calls, try connecting the answering machine directly to the HP All-in-One as described in Fax setup. If you do not connect the answering machine as recommended, fax tones might be recorded on your answering machine.

Make sure your HP All-in-One is set to receive faxes automatically. If your HP All-in-One is set up to receive faxes manually, the HP All-in-One will not answer incoming calls. You must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls, or the HP All-in-One will not receive the fax and your answering machine will record the fax tones. For information on setting up your HP All-in-One to receive faxes automatically, see Set the answer mode.

Make sure the Rings to Answer setting is set to a greater number of rings than the answering machine. For more information, see Set the number of rings before answering.

The phone cord that came with my HP All-in-One is not long enough

Solution If the phone cord that came with your HP All-in-One is not long enough, you can use a coupler to extend the length. You can purchase a coupler at an electronics store that carries phone accessories. You will also need another phone cord, which can be a standard phone cord that you might already have in your home or office.

Tip If your HP All-in-One came with a 2-wire phone cord adaptor, you can use it with a 4-wire phone cord to extend the length. For information on using the 2-wire phone cord adaptor, see the documentation that came with it.

To extend your phone cord

1.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP All-in-One, connect one end to the coupler, then connect the other end to the port labeled "1- LINE" on the back of your HP All-in-One.

2.Connect another phone cord to the open port on the coupler and to the telephone wall jack, as shown below.
