Choose the right fax setup for your home or office
To fax successfully, you need to know what types of equipment and services (if any)
share the same phone line with your HP All-in-One. This is important because you
might need to connect some of your existing office equipment directly to your HP All-
in-One, and you might also need to change some fax settings before you can fax
successfully.
To determine the best way to set up the HP All-in-One in your home or office, first
read through the questions in this section and record your answers. Next, refer to the
table in the following section and choose the recommended setup case based on your
answers.
Make sure to read and answer the following questions in the order they are presented.

Are you unsure if you have distinctive ring? Many phone companies offer a
distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on one
phone line.
When you subscribe to this service, each phone number will have a different ring
pattern. For example, you can have single, double, and triple rings for the
different numbers. You might assign one phone number with a single ring to your
voice calls, and another phone number with double rings to your fax calls. This
allows you to tell the difference between voice and fax calls when the phone rings.

4.

Do you receive voice calls at the same phone number you will use for fax calls on
your HP All-in-One?
❑ Yes, I receive voice calls.

❑ No.
Please continue answering questions.
