6.Connect your answering machine to the other open phone port on the parallel splitter.
NOTE: If you do not connect your answering machine in this way, fax tones from a sending fax machine might be recorded on your answering machine, and you might not be able to receive faxes with the HP All-in-One.
7.(Optional) If your answering machine does not have a built-in phone, for convenience you might want to connect a phone to the back of your answering machine at the "OUT" port.
8.If your modem software is set to receive faxes to your computer automatically, turn off that setting.
NOTE: If you do not turn off the automatic fax reception setting in your modem software, the HP All-in-One will not be able to receive faxes.
9.Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
10.Set your answering machine to answer after a low number of rings.
11.Change the Rings to Answer setting on the HP All-in-One to the maximum number of rings supported by your device. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.)
12.Run a fax test.
When the phone rings, your answering machine will answer after the number of rings you have set, and then play your recorded greeting. The HP All-in-One monitors the call during this time, "listening" for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the HP All-in-One will emit fax reception tones and receive the fax; if there are no fax tones, the HP All-in-One stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message.
