Installation and Configuration
Receive fax and voice calls at the same phone number – with an answering machine
This installation is recommended when using one telephone number for both fax and voice calls and using a telephone
answering machine. Installation consists of connecting the HP OfficeJet Series 300 to the telephone wall jack,
connecting the telephone answering machine directly to the HP OfficeJet Series 300 wall jack connector as shown,
and setting the Receive Mode to Auto. If an answering machine is connected to the
HP OfficeJet Series 300, ensure
that the rings to answer setting of the HP OfficeJet is greater than the rings to answer setting of the answering machine.
If the answering machine has answered, the HP OfficeJet will eavesdrop and take the call if another fax machine is
calling. Two scenarios are possible when using an answering machine – one where the telephone handset is an
attached part of the answering machine and one where the telephone is a separate item that must be connected
following the answering machine. Both scenarios are depicted in the following diagram.
Connect the answering
