Case H: Shared voice/fax line with PC modem

If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also
have a PC modem connected on this phone line, connect your HP all-in-one as
described in this section.
Since your PC modem shares the phone line with your HP all-in-one, you will not be
able to use both your PC 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 PC 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, see the next section,

Set up your

HP all-in-one to a computer with one phone port

. You will need to purchase a

parallel splitter in order to send and receive faxes successfully and use your PC
modem. (Do not use a 2-line phone splitter or a serial splitter.) You will also need
three additional phone cords. You can purchase a parallel splitter and additional
phone cords from an electronics store that carries phone accessories.

If your computer has two phone ports, see

Set up your HP all-in-one to a computer

with two phone ports

.

Set up your HP all-in-one to a computer with one phone port

This section describes how to set up your HP all-in-one with a PC modem if your
computer has only one phone port.
