you might already have in your home or office. If the supplied phone cord
is too short, see
The phone cord that came with my HP All-in-One is not
long enough for information on extending it.
4. (Optional) If your answering machine does not have a built-in phone, for
convenience you might want to connect a phone to the back of your answering
machine at the "OUT" port.
5. Set up the HP All-in-One to answer incoming calls automatically. Press the Auto
Answer button until the light is on.
6. Set your answering machine to answer after four or fewer rings.
7. Change the Rings to Answer setting on your HP All-in-One to six rings.
For information on changing this setting, see Set the number of rings before
answering .
8. Run a fax test. For information, see Test your fax setup .
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 for faxing
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, 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 (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.)
Example of a parallel splitter
● If your computer has two phone ports, see Set up your HP All-in-One to a
computer with two phone ports .
