the HP OfficeJet will NOT answer incoming calls automatically.
To receive a fax manually: When the phone rings, pick it up and
listen for fax tones; if your hear fax tones, press the START button
on the HP OfficeJet, then hang up the phone.
Refer to “Manually
receiving faxes” in Chapter 3 for more information.
● Continue with Step 7, “Install the Software - REQUIRED!”
Shared line with a PC-modem (Case ADGH)
If in Step 2 you connected the HP OfficeJet to a shared phone line
(receives both voice and fax calls) that also has a PC-modem con-
nected to it, then use this connection diagram.
● 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 main benefits of connecting a phone in this situation are 1)
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;
the HP OfficeJet will NOT answer incoming calls automatically.
To receive a fax manually: When the phone rings, pick it up and lis-
ten for fax tones; if your hear fax tones, press the START button on
the HP OfficeJet, then hang up the phone.
