Case G: Fax line shared with PC modem (no voice calls received)

If you have a fax line on which you receive no voice calls, and you also have a PC modem connected on this line, connect your HP all-in-one as described in this section.

Since your PC modem shares the phone line with your HP all-in-one, you will not be able to use both your PC modem and your HP all-in-one simultaneously. For example, you cannot use your HP all-in-one for faxing if you are using your PC modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.

To set up your HP all-in-one with a PC modem

1Remove the white plug from the port labeled "2-EXT" on the back of your HP all- in-one.

2Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your PC modem) to a telephone wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled "2-EXT" on the back of your HP all-in-one.

3Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP all-in-one, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled "1-LINE" on the back of your HP all-in-one.

Caution If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to your HP all-in-one, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office. If the supplied phone cord is too short, see The phone cord that came with my HP all-in-one is not long enough for information on extending it.

4If your PC modem software is set to receive faxes to your computer automatically, turn off that setting.

Caution If you do not turn off the auto fax receive setting in your PC modem software, your HP all-in-one will not be able to receive faxes.
