port

To set up the HP All-in-One with a shared voice/fax line
1.

Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP All-in-One, 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 All-in-One.

Note

If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone

wall jack to the HP All-in-One, 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 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.

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.

3.

Run a fax test.

4.

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.
