HP J5788, J5780, J5750, J5740 manual Case F Shared voice/fax line with voice mail

Chapter 4

3.Now you need to decide how you want the HP All-in-One to answer calls, automatically or manually:

•If you set up the HP All-in-One to answer calls automatically, it answers all incoming calls and receives faxes. The HP All-in-One 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 All-in-One answers the call. To set up the HP All-in-One to answer calls automatically, turn on the Auto Answer setting. For more information, see Set the answer mode.

•If you set up the HP All-in-One to answer faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls or the HP All-in-One cannot receive faxes. To set up the HP All-in-One to answer calls manually, turn off the Auto Answer setting. For more information, see Set the answer mode.

4.Run a fax test.

5.Plug your phone into the telephone wall jack.

6.Do one of the following, depending on your phone system:

•If you have a parallel-type phone system, remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the HP All-in-One, and then connect a phone to this port.

•If you have a serial-type phone system, you might plug your phone directly on top of the HP All-in-One cable which has a wall plug attached to it.

If you pick up the phone before the HP All-in-One answers the call and hear fax tones from a sending fax machine, you will need to answer the fax call manually.

Case F: Shared voice/fax line with voice mail

If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also subscribe to a voice mail service through your telephone company, set up the HP All-in- One as described in this section.

NOTE: You cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a voice mail service at the same phone number you use for fax calls. You must receive faxes manually; this means you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls. If you want to receive faxes automatically instead, contact your telephone company to subscribe to a distinctive ring service, or to obtain a separate phone line for faxing.
