HP Photosmart Premium Fax C309 - Manual (Page 24)

6. Now you need to decide how you want the HP Photosmart to answer calls, automatically or manually:
•
If you set up the HP Photosmart to answer calls automatically, it answers all incoming calls and receives
faxes. The HP Photosmart will not be able to distinguish between fax and voice calls in this case; if you
suspect the call is a voice call, you will need to answer it before the HP Photosmart answers the call. To set
up the HP Photosmart to answer calls automatically, turn on the Auto Answer setting.
• If you set up the HP Photosmart to answer faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to
incoming fax calls or the HP Photosmart cannot receive faxes. To set up the HP Photosmart to answer calls
manually, turn off the Auto Answer setting.
7. Run a fax test.
If you pick up the phone before the HP Photosmart answers the call and hear fax tones from a sending fax machine,
you will need to answer the fax call manually.
Case I: Shared voice/fax line with answering machine
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also have an answering machine
that answers voice calls at this phone number, set up the HP Photosmart as described in this section.

1. Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the HP Photosmart.
2. Unplug your answering machine from the telephone wall jack, and connect it to the port labeled 2-EXT on the
back of the HP Photosmart.
NOTE: If you do not connect your answering machine directly to the HP Photosmart, fax tones from a
sending fax machine might be recorded on your answering machine, and you probably will not be able to
receive faxes with the HP Photosmart.
