6.Set your answering machine to answer after a low number of rings.

7.Change the Rings to Answer setting on the device to the maximum number of rings supported by your device. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/ region.)

8.Run a fax test.

When the phone rings, your answering machine answers after the number of rings you have set, and then plays your recorded greeting. The device monitors the call during this time, "listening" for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the device emits fax reception tones and receives the fax; if there are no fax tones, the device stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message.

Case J: Shared voice/fax line with computer modem and answering machine

If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also have a computer modem and answering machine connected on this phone line, set up the HP device as described in this section.

NOTE: Since your computer dial-up modem shares the phone line with the HP device, you cannot use both your modem and the device simultaneously. For example, you cannot use the HP device for faxing while you are using your computer dial-up modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.

There are two different ways to set the HP device with your computer based on the number of phone ports on your computer. Before you begin, check your computer to see if it has one or two phone ports.

If your computer has only one phone port, you will need to purchase a parallel splitter, as shown below. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a two-line phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on the front and a plug on the back.)
