HP Photosmart 3110 All-in-One Printer - Manual (Page 51)

Case K: Shared voice/fax line with computer modem and voice mail
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, use a
computer modem on the same phone line, and subscribe to a voice mail service
through your telephone company, set up your HP All-in-One as described in this
section.
Note You cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a voice mail service
at the same phone number you use for fax calls. You must receive faxes
manually; this means you must be available to respond in person to incoming
fax calls. If you want to receive faxes automatically instead, contact your
telephone company to subscribe to a distinctive ring service, or to obtain a
separate phone line for faxing.
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
below.
