● Connect your PC-modem to the HP OfficeJet. Find the phone
cord that goes from the back of your computer (your PC-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
labelled, “To Phone, Answering Machine, or Modem.”
Important: If your PC-modem’s software is set to automatically
receive faxes to your computer, turn off that setting; if you don’t,
your HP OfficeJet will not be able to receive faxes properly.
● Connect your phone to the HP OfficeJet. Connect the cord from
your phone to either of the two ports on the back of the HP Office-
Jet labelled, “To Phone, Answering Machine, or Modem.”
The benefits of connecting a phone in this situation are 1) For the
convenience of having a phone close by to make outgoing voice
calls, and 2) In case you need to send a fax (press START) after
calling someone who must receive their faxes manually.
● After you install the software in Step 7, and answer the Setup
Wizard questions for this connection case, here’s how you’ll auto-
matically receive faxes with the HP OfficeJet:
Your fax line will
ring once, then the HP OfficeJet will answer and begin emitting fax
tones to the sending machine.
● Continue with Step 7, “Install the Software - REQUIRED!”
Dedicated line with external modem (ACI)
If in Step 2 you connected the HP OfficeJet to a dedicated phone line
(no voice calls received) that also has an external modem 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 labelled,
“To Phone, Answering Machine, or Modem.”
