fax setup

case H: shared voice/fax line with voice mail

Note: The HP Fax cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a voice

mail service, so you must be available to respond in person (manually) to

incoming fax calls. If you want to receive faxes automatically instead,

contact your phone company to subscribe to a distinctive ring service, or to

obtain a separate phone line for faxing.

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 phone company, connect

your HP Fax as described in this section.

1 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 cord is different from the

more common 4-wire phone 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.

2 Press the Answer Mode button on the front panel until TEL appears on the

display.
