5. If your modem software is set to receive faxes to your computer automatically, turn
off that setting.
NOTE: If you do not turn off the automatic fax reception setting in your modem
software, the HP Photosmart will not be able to receive faxes.
6. Now you need to decide how you want the HP Photosmart to answer calls,
automatically or manually:
• If you set up the HP Photosmart to answer calls automatically, it answers all
incoming calls and receives faxes. The HP Photosmart 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 Photosmart answers the call.
To set up the HP Photosmart to answer calls automatically, turn on the Auto
Answer setting.
• If you set up the HP Photosmart to answer faxes manually, you must be available
to respond in person to incoming fax calls or the HP Photosmart cannot receive
faxes. To set up the HP Photosmart to answer calls manually, turn off the Auto
Answer setting.
7. Run a fax test.
If you pick up the phone before the HP Photosmart answers the call and hear fax tones
from a sending fax machine, you will need to answer the fax call manually.
