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 be able to receive faxes prop-
erly.

●

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.

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!”

For the convenience of having a phone close to the HP OfficeJet
so that you can reach the START button when you receive faxes
manually, and 2) In case you need to send a fax (press START)
while having a conversation with someone who must receive their
faxes manually.

●

Because you don’t have an answering machine or computer voice-
mail on this phone line, you’ll need to receive faxes manually;
