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.

4.Plug your phone into the telephone wall jack.

5.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 Photosmart, 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 Photosmart cable which has a wall plug attached to it.

If you pick up the phone before the HP Photosmart 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 Photosmart as described in this section.
