Shared line with external modem and answering
machine (Case ADEI)
If you connected the HP OfficeJet to a shared phone line (receives
both voice and fax calls) that also has an external modem and an
answering machine connected to it, then use this connection diagram.
● Connect your external modem to the HP OfficeJet. Find the
phone cord that goes from the back of your external modem to a
wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the wall jack and plug it into
either of the two ports on the back of the HP OfficeJet labeled,
“To Phone, Answering Machine, or Modem.”
Important: If your external modem’s software is set to automati-
cally receive faxes to your computer, turn off that setting; if you
don’t, your HP OfficeJet will not receive faxes properly.
● Connect your answering machine to the HP OfficeJet. Plug
the phone line from your answering machine to either of the ports
labeled, “To Phone, Answering Machine, or Modem” on the back
of the HP OfficeJet.
Important: Set your answering machine to answer calls after 4 or
fewer rings, and make sure your outgoing greeting message is no
longer than 30 seconds. If you don’t, you may not receive faxes.
● Connect your phone to your answering machine. Connect the
cord from your phone to the back of your answering machine.
● After you install the software in Step 8, and answer the Setup
Wizard questions for this connection case, here’s how you’ll
automatically receive faxes with the HP OfficeJet:
Your
answering machine will pick up the call after the number of rings
you’ve set, then the HP OfficeJet will “listen” while the answering
machine plays its greeting. If the HP OfficeJet detects fax tones, it
will cut off the answering machine and receive the fax. If you
don’t connect your answering machine directly to the HP
OfficeJet as described here, you may not receive your faxes
properly.
