Connecting an Answering Machine to the HP FAX-900 and FAX-950
Connect an answering machine to your fax machine if you want to receive both voice telephone calls and fax calls on
the same line, or have your fax machine take fax calls and the answering machine take voice calls.
Note You can not use the Remote Turn-on or Outgoing-message-only features of your answering ma-
chine when you connect it to your fax machine. If your answering machine can select the number
of rings before answering, set it to answer in less than eight rings. If you use a telephone not
provided with the answering machine, you will need to connect the telephone to the answering
machine. Then connect the answering machine to the fax machine.
To connect an answering machine to your fax machine, perform the following procedure:
1. Carefully remove the tab protecting the TEL connector on the back of the fax machine, if not already removed.
2. Connect the telephone cord from the answering machine to the TEL connector on the back of your fax ma-
chine. See Figure 2-43. The HP FAX-900 is shown, but the connection for the HP FAX-950 is the same.
