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 printer 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.
