3. Now you need to decide how you want the HP All-in-One to answer calls,
automatically or manually:
• If you set up the HP All-in-One to answer calls automatically, it answers all
incoming calls and receives faxes. The HP All-in-One will not be able to
distinguish between fax and voice calls in this case; if you suspect the call is a
voice call, you will need to answer it before the HP All-in-One answers the call.
To set up the HP All-in-One to answer calls automatically, turn on the Auto
Answer setting. For more information, see
Set the answer mode.
• If you set up the HP All-in-One to answer faxes manually, you must be available
to respond in person to incoming fax calls or the HP All-in-One cannot receive
faxes. To set up the HP All-in-One to answer calls manually, turn off the Auto
Answer setting. For more information, see
Set the answer mode.
4. Run a fax test.
5. Plug your phone into the telephone wall jack.
6. Do one of the following, depending on your phone system:
• If you have a parallel-type phone system, remove the white plug from the port
labeled 2-EXT on the back of the HP All-in-One, and then connect a phone to this
port.
• If you have a serial-type phone system, you might plug your phone directly on top
of the HP All-in-One cable which has a wall plug attached to it.
If you pick up the phone before the HP All-in-One answers the call and hear fax tones
from a sending fax machine, you will need to answer the fax call manually.
Case F: Shared voice/fax line with voice mail
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also
subscribe to a voice mail service through your telephone company, set up the HP All-in-
One as described in this section.
NOTE: You cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a voice mail service at
the same phone number you use for fax calls. You must receive faxes manually; this
means you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls. If you want
to receive faxes automatically instead, contact your telephone company to subscribe
to a distinctive ring service, or to obtain a separate phone line for faxing.
