Installation and Configuration
Receive fax and voice calls at the same phone number – without an answering machine

telephone answering machine. Installation consists of connecting the HP OfficeJet Series 300 to the telephone wall
jack, connecting a telephone directly to the HP OfficeJet Series 300 and setting the Receive Mode to Manual.
Instructions for setting the Receive Modes are provided later in this chapter.

Note: In Manual receive mode the HP OfficeJet Series 300 will never pick up the line to
answer a call. All calls must be answered manually. Voice calls are treated as
normal voice calls by answering the phone. To receive a fax, the user must first
answer the phone, listen for the fax tone and then press the Start/Copy button on
the front panel. For fax calls, the user must use the telephone that is directly
connected to the TEL jack on the back of the HP OfficeJet Series 300. After
answering the phone and the caller notifies the user that a fax is about to be sent to
him, or the user hears a fax tone, presses the Start/Copy button and then hangs up
the telephone. The fax is then sent and the HP OfficeJet Series 300 will start to
receive it.
If the user has a shared fax/voice line and wants to be able to receive faxes
automatically, the user cannot use Manual receive mode. To receive faxes
automatically, the user needs to either connect an answering machine to the HP
OfficeJet Series 300 and use Auto receive mode or, if the user’s phone company has
a distinctive ringing service available, he could connect his HP OfficeJet Series 300
to receive fax and voice calls on the same line with distinctive ring in Auto receive
mode. Information on using an answering machine or distinctive ring are provided
later in this chapter.
