HP Photosmart 3110 All-in-One Printer - Manual (Page 45)

When the phone rings, your HP All-in-One will answer automatically after the number
of rings you set in the
Rings to Answer setting. Then it will begin emitting fax
reception tones to the sending fax machine and receive the fax.
Case H: Shared voice/fax line with computer modem
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also
have a computer modem connected on this phone line, set up your HP All-in-One as
described in this section.
Since your computer modem shares the phone line with your HP All-in-One, you will
not be able to use both your computer modem and your HP All-in-One
simultaneously. For example, you cannot use your HP All-in-One for faxing if you are
using your computer modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.
There are two different ways to set up your 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.) For additional details, see the
3100, 3200, 3300
series Troubleshooting section in the onscreen HP Image Zone Help .

● If your computer has two phone ports, set up your HP All-in-One as described
