To set up the HP Photosmart with a shared voice/fax line

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

NOTE: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the HP Photosmart, 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.

2.Now you need to decide how you want the HP Photosmart to answer calls, automatically or manually:

•If you set up the HP Photosmart to answer calls automatically, it answers all incoming calls and receives faxes. The HP Photosmart will not be able to distinguish between fax and voice calls in this case; if you suspect the call is a voice call, you will need to answer it before the HP Photosmart answers the call. To set up the HP Photosmart to answer calls automatically, turn on the Auto Answer setting.

•If you set up the HP Photosmart to answer faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls or the HP Photosmart cannot receive faxes. To set up the HP Photosmart to answer calls manually, turn off the Auto Answer setting.

3.Run a fax test.
