To set up your HP all-in-one with a shared voice/fax line
1
Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP all-in-one, connect one end
to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled "1-LINE"
on the back of your HP all-in-one.
Caution
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone
wall jack to your HP all-in-one, you might not be able to fax successfully.
This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already
have in your home or office. If the supplied phone cord is too short, see
The
phone cord that came with my HP all-in-one is not long enough
for
information on extending it.

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 your 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 to
the telephone wall jack.
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. Your 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 answer fax calls automatically, press the
Auto Answer
button until the
light is on.
–
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 your HP all-in-one cannot receive
faxes.
To answer fax calls manually, press the
Auto Answer
button until the light is
off.
