Case H: Shared voice/fax line with computer dial-up modem

If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also have

a computer dial-up modem connected on this phone line, set up the HP All-in-One as

described in this section.

Since your computer dial-up modem shares the phone line with the HP All-in-One, you

will not be able to use both your modem and the HP All-in-One simultaneously. For

example, you cannot use the HP All-in-One for faxing if you are using your computer dial-

up modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.

There are two different ways to set up the HP All-in-One 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

(also called a coupler), 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 2-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.)
