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 PSC monitors the call during this time, “listening” for fax tones. If
incoming fax tones are detected, the HP PSC will emit fax reception tones
and receive the fax; if there are no fax tones, the HP PSC stops monitoring
the line and your answering machine can record a voice message.
case G: shared voice/fax line with PC modem and answering
machine
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you
also have a PC modem and answering machine connected on this phone line,
connect your HP PSC as described in this section.
Note: Since your PC modem shares the telephone line with your HP PSC,
you will not be able to use both simultaneously. For example, while you are
sending and receiving faxes, you will not be able to e-mail or access the
Internet.
1 Remove the white plug from the port labeled “2-EXT” on the back of your
HP PSC.
2 Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your
PC modem) to a wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the wall jack and
plug it into the port labeled “2-EXT” on the back of your HP PSC.
3 If your PC modem’s software is set to automatically receive faxes to your
computer, turn off that setting.
Caution! If you do not turn off the auto fax receive setting in your
PC modem software, your HP PSC will not be able to receive
faxes.
4 Unplug your answering machine from the telephone wall jack, and
connect it to the “out” port on the back of your PC modem.
