fax setup

4 Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP Fax, connect one

end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port

labeled “1-LINE” on the back of your HP Fax.

Caution! If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the

telephone wall jack to your HP Fax, you probably will not be able

to fax successfully. This special 2-wire phone cord is different from

the more common 4-wire cords you might already have in your

office. For more information about how to tell the difference

between the cords, see I have difficulties when sending faxes and

when receiving faxes. on page 105.

5 Press the Answer Mode button on the front panel until AnswerMachine

appears on the display.

6 If your PC modem’s software is set to automatically receive faxes to your

computer, turn off that setting.

Caution! If you do not turn off the auto fax receive setting in your

PC modem software, your HP Fax will not be able to receive

faxes.

how your hp fax will answer fax calls

When the phone rings, your answering machine will answer and then

play your recorded greeting. The HP Fax monitors the call during this time,

“listening” for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the HP Fax

will emit fax reception tones and receive the fax; if there are no fax tones,

the HP Fax stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can

record a voice message.
