Installation and Configuration
Setting Up for Faxing (U.S. and Australian Installations)
Using an HP OfficeJet Series 300 with the HP OfficeJet Series 300 Manager and Eclipse FAX SE to control faxing is
briefly described earlier in this section. Detailed information is provided in the HP OfficeJet Series 300 User’s Guide
for the user’s model.
On an HP OfficeJet Series 300, reception mode is set during installation of the software, but can
be changed using the HP OfficeJet Series 300 Manager software as described in the HP OfficeJet Series 300 User’s
Guide for the user’s model.The reception mode can also be changed from the front panel as described later in this
chapter.
The following four types of installations are the ones recommended for use with the HP OfficeJet Series 300 to
achieve the best call-handling results. While other situations are possible, it is recommended that one of these be used.
Determine which installation most closely meets the user’s needs and follow the instructions given.
D Receive fax calls only – no voice calls, on a dedicated fax line
D Receive fax and voice calls at the same phone number – without an answering machine
D Receive fax and voice calls at the same phone number – with an answering machine
D Receive fax and voice calls on the same line with distinctive ring
After selecting the best installation to meet the user needs, the correct reception mode and certain station specific
information will need to be set up. The procedures to accomplish this are in the following topics:
D Setting up for Distinctive Ring
D Setting the Reception Mode for incoming calls
D Setting the number of rings to answer
D Selecting Tone or Pulse dialing
D Entering the Date and Time
D Entering the header information (company name and fax number)
Note: The HP OfficeJet Series 300 is not supported with roll-over phone systems (such as
the automatic answering systems often used in large companies), voicemail, call
waiting, and some other advanced features provided by the user’s phone company.
If the user has call waiting or other features that can be temporarily turned off by
pressing a series of buttons on the user’s phone, we recommend that having the user
turn them off while sending and receiving faxes with the HP OfficeJet Series 300.
Check with the user’s phone company if the user needs help.
Receive fax calls only – no voice calls, on a dedicated fax line
This installation is recommended when using a separate telephone line and number dedicated to receiving faxes only
(no voice calls). Installation consists of connecting the HP OfficeJet Series 300 to the telephone wall jack with the
telephone cord provided with the machine and setting the Receive Mode to Auto. Auto receive mode is the factory
default set at shipment. If the setting was changed and the user wants to use Auto mode reception, have the user set the
mode to Auto. Instructions for setting the Reception Modes are provided later in this chapter.
Note: In Auto receive mode, the HP OfficeJet Series 300 will pick up the line after
detecting the number of rings specified in the Rings to Answer setting and then
send a fax tone signal to the calling fax machine to start communication. The fax is
then sent and the HP OfficeJet Series 300 will start to receive it. The Rings to
Answer setting is user defined through the front panel menu. The user can choose
from 2 to 5 rings. The factory default is 2 rings.
