Connect your answering machine to the HP OfficeJet. Plug the
phone line from your answering machine to either of the ports
labelled, “To Phone, Answering Machine, or Modem” on the back
of the HP OfficeJet.
Important:
Set your answering machine to answer calls after 4 or
fewer rings, and make sure your outgoing greeting message is no
longer than 30 seconds. If you don’t, you may not receive faxes
properly.
●
Connect your phone to your answering machine. If your
answering machine doesn’t have an attached phone handset, con-
nect the cord from your phone to the back of your answering
machine.
The main benefits of connecting a phone in this situation are 1) In
case you need to send a fax (press START) while having a con-
versation with someone who must receive their faxes manually,
and 2) For the convenience of having a phone close by to make
and receive voice calls.
●
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 answering
machine will pick up the call after the number of rings you’ve set,
then the HP OfficeJet will “listen” while the answering machine
plays its greeting. If the HP OfficeJet detects fax tones, it will cut off
the answering machine and receive the fax. If you don’t connect
your answering machine directly to the HP OfficeJet as described
here, you may not receive your faxes properly.
●
Continue with Step 7, “Install the Software - REQUIRED!”
Shared line with external modem and
computer voicemail (Case ADFI)
If in Step 2 you connected the HP OfficeJet to a shared phone line
(receives both voice and fax calls) that also has an external modem
connected to it and computer voicemail to answer voice calls, then
use this connection diagram.
