Shared line with answering machine (Case ADEJ)

If you connected the HP OfficeJet to a shared phone line (receives both voice and fax calls) that also has an answering machine connected to it, use this connection diagram.

answering machine

●Connect your answering machine to the HP OfficeJet. Plug the phone line from your answering machine to either of the ports labeled, “To Phone, Answering Machine, or Modem” on the back of the HP OfficeJet.

Important: Set your answering machine 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.

●Connect your phone to the HP OfficeJet. If your answering machine doesn’t have an attached phone handset, connect the cord from your phone to either of the two ports on the back of the HP OfficeJet labeled, “To Phone, Answering Machine, or Modem.”

●After you install the software in Step 8, and answer the Setup Wizard questions for this connection case, here’s how you’ll automatically 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 “8. Install the Software - REQUIRED!”
