HP Premium Web - C309n manual To set up the HP Photosmart with a computer dial-up modem

Chapter 9

Case G: Fax line shared with computer dial-up modem (no voice calls received)

If you have a fax line on which you receive no voice calls, and you also have a computer dial-up modem connected on this line, set up the HP Photosmart as described in this section.

Since your computer dial-up modem shares the phone line with the HP Photosmart, you will not be able to use both your modem and the HP Photosmart simultaneously. For example, you cannot use the HP Photosmart for faxing if you are using your computer dial-up modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.
