Connect your external modem to the Sony IJP-VIOO. Find the
plioiic cord lliat goes from the back of your external modem to a
wall Jack. Disconnect the cord from the w all Jack and plug it into
either of the two ports on the back of the Sony I.IP-V 100 labelled.
“To Phone, Answering Machine, or Modem."
Imftortant: If your external modem's software is set to automatically
receive faxes to your computer, turn off that setting; if you don't,
your Sony IJP-V100 will not be able to receive faxes properly.
Connect your computer voicemail phone cord to the Sony
IJP-VIOO.
Locate the phone cord that goes from the back of your
computer 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 Sony IJP-
VI00 labelled, “To Phone. Answering Machine, or Modem.”
Important: Set your voicemail software 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 computer. Connect the cord from
your phone to the back of your computer.
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 conver­
sation 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 Sony IJP-VIOO:
Your computer
voicemail will pick up the call after the number of rings you've set,
then the Sony IJP-VIOO will "listen" while voicemail plays its greet­
ing. If the Sony IJP-VIOO detects fax tones, it will cut off the voice-
mail and receive the fax. If you don't connect your computer
voicemail phone cord directly to the Sony IJP-VIOO as described
here, you may not receive your faxes properly.
