connect and use a phone with your hp fax
You can set up your HP Fax to answer fax calls either automatically or manually
when connected to a phone. The recommended method is to set your HP Fax to
receive fax calls automatically. If you rarely receive faxes, however, you may
want to set up your HP Fax to receive fax calls manually.
Note: When receiving faxes manually, you must be available to respond in
person to the incoming fax call, or your HP Fax cannot receive faxes.
to connect your hp fax to a phone
1 Remove the white plastic stopper from connector 2 on the back of the
HP Fax.

2 Connect the phone cord from the phone to connector 2.
Caution! Do not use the phone cord that came with the HP Fax for
this purpose. That phone cord must connect connector 1 on the
HP Fax to the wall jack for your phone system. See the Setup Poster
for details.
how answer fax calls automatically
` Verify that Auto Answer is enabled. (The light next to Auto Answer is on
when the feature is enabled. Press the Auto Answer button to turn the
feature on or off.) When a fax call is received, the HP Fax will pick up and
connect with the sending fax machine. Your fax will then be printed.
Note: If you pick up the phone before the HP Fax answers and hear fax
tones, stay on the line until your HP Fax connects, and then hang up. Or,
press 1 2 3 when you hear the fax tones to send the fax call immediately to
the HP Fax. Once the HP Fax receives the fax call, the telephone will go
silent. At this point, hang up your phone.
Note: After the HP Fax answers the fax call, any telephone connected
directly to it will be temporarily disabled. This prevents any interruptions
occurring during the fax.
how to answer fax calls manually
When receiving faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to
the incoming fax call, or your HP Fax cannot receive faxes. See receive a fax on
page 14 for more information. You can use either the telephone or the front
panel to answer fax calls manually. Follow these steps:
1 Press the Auto Answer button to turn off the Auto Answer feature (the Auto
Answer light will go off).
2 When your HP Fax rings, pick up the handset of a telephone that is on the
same telephone line as your HP Fax.
