fax setup

case C: shared voice/fax line

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

have no other office equipment (or voice mail) on this phone line, 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.

appears on the display.

how your hp fax will answer fax calls

The HP Fax automatically answers all incoming calls based on the Rings to

Answer setting. If the call is a fax call, the HP Fax will receive the fax.

If the call is a voice call, the HP Fax will create a special ring to indicate it

is a voice call. You will need to answer the incoming voice call using the

handset. You should not answer voice calls from other telephones on the

line. The device cannot tell that you picked up the extension phone and

will keep ringing. You will have to press Cancel on the HP Fax to stop the

ringing.
