After you install the software in Step 7, and answer the Setup Wizard questions for this connection case, here’s how you’ll auto- matically receive faxes with the HP OfficeJet: Your answering machine will pick up the call after the number of rings you’ve set, then the HP OfficeJet will “listen” while the answering machine plays its greeting. If the HP OfficeJet detects fax tones, it will cut off the answering machine and receive the fax. If you don’t connect your answering machine directly to the HP OfficeJet as described here, you may not receive your faxes properly.

Continue with Step 7, “Install the Software - REQUIRED!”

Shared line, PC- modem & computer voicemail (Case ADFH)

If in Step 2 you connected the HP OfficeJet to a shared phone line (receives both voice and fax calls) that also has a PC-modem con- nected to it and computer voicemail to answer voice calls, use this connection diagram.

1. Setting Up

Phone optional,

but recommended Computer with PC-modem and

voicemail feature

OJ-phpcmodm

Telephone wall jack

Connect your PC-modem and voicemail phone cord to the HP OfficeJet. Find the phone cord that goes from the back of your computer (for your PC-modem and voicemail) to a wall jack. Dis- connect the cord from the wall jack and plug it into either of the two ports on the back of the HP OfficeJet labelled, “To Phone, Answering Machine, or Modem.”

Important: Set your voicemail software to answer calls after 4 or fewer rings, and make sure your outgoing greeting message is no longer than 30 seconds. If you don’t, you may not receive faxes properly.

Important: If your PC-modem’s software is set to automatically receive faxes to your computer, turn off that setting; if you don’t, your HP OfficeJet will not be able to receive faxes properly.
