Connect your computer voicemail phone cord to the HP OfficeJet. Locate the phone cord that goes from the back of your computer to a wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the wall jack and plug it into either of the two ports on the back of the HP OfficeJet labeled, “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.

Connect your phone to the HP OfficeJet. 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 computer voicemail will pick up the call after the number of rings you’ve set, then the HP OfficeJet will “listen” while voicemail plays its greeting. If the HP OfficeJet detects fax tones, it will cut off the voicemail and receive the fax. If you don’t connect your computer voicemail phone cord directly to the HP OfficeJet as described here, you may not receive your faxes properly.
