When the phone rings, your answering machine will answer after the number of rings
you have set, and then play your recorded greeting. The HP All-in-One monitors the
call during this time, "listening" for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the
HP All-in-One will emit fax reception tones and receive the fax; if there are no fax
tones, the HP All-in-One stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can
record a voice message.

Case J: Shared voice/fax line with computer modem and answering machine
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also
have a computer modem and answering machine connected on this phone line, set
up your HP All-in-One as described in this section.
Since your computer modem shares the phone line with your HP All-in-One, you will
not be able to use both your computer 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 computer 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, you will need to purchase a parallel
splitter (also called a coupler), as shown below. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11
port on the front and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a 2-line phone
splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on the
front and a plug on the back.) For additional details, see the

3100, 3200, 3300

series Troubleshooting

section in the onscreen

Example of a parallel splitter

If your computer has two phone ports, set up your HP All-in-One as described
below.
