To set up the device with a shared voice/fax line with answering machine
1.Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the device.
2. Unplug your answering machine from the telephone wall jack, and connect it to the
port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the device.
NOTE: If you do not connect your answering machine directly to the device,
fax tones from a sending fax machine might be recorded on your answering
machine, and you probably will not be able to receive faxes with the device.
3. Using the phone cord supplied in the box  with the device, connect one end to your
telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the
back of the device.
NOTE: You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter
provided for your country/region.
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to
the device, 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.
4. (Optional) If your answering machine does not have a built-in phone, for
convenience you might want to connect a  phone to the back of your answering
machine at the OUT port.
NOTE: If your answering machine does not let you connect an external
phone, you can purchase and use a parallel splitter (also known as a coupler)
to connect both the answering machine and telephone to the device. You can
use standard phone cords for these connections.
5. Turn on the  Auto Answer  setting.
6. Set your answering machine to answer after a low number of rings.
7. Change the  Rings to Answer  setting on the device to the maximum number of
rings supported by your device. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/
region.)
8. Run a fax test.
When the phone rings, your answering machine answers after the number of rings you
have set, and then plays your recorded  greeting. The device monitors the call during
this time, listening for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the device emits
fax reception tones and receives the fax; if  there are no fax tones, the device stops
monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message.
If you encounter problems setting up the device with optional equipment, contact your
local service provider or vendor for further assistance.

							Case J: Shared voice/fax line with computer modem and answering machine
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also
have a computer modem and answering machine connected on this phone line, set up
the HP device as described in this section.
NOTE:Since your computer dial-up modem shares the phone line with the HP
device, you cannot use both your modem and the device simultaneously. For
example, you cannot use the HP device  for faxing while you are using your
computer dial-up modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.

Shared voice/fax line with computer dial-up modem and answering machine
There are two different ways to set the HP device with your computer based on the
number of phone ports on your computer. Before you begin, check your computer to
see if it has one or two phone ports.
• If your computer has only one phone  port, you will need to purchase a parallel
splitter, as shown below. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and
two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a two-line phone splitter, a serial splitter,
or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on the front and a plug on the back.)

• If your computer has one phone port, set  up the HP device as described below.

You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter
provided for your country/region.
To set up the device on the same phone line as a computer with one phone port
1.Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the HP device.
2. Find the phone cord that connects from  the back of your computer (your computer
dial-up modem) to a telephone wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the telephone
wall jack and plug it into the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the device.
3. Unplug your answering machine from the telephone wall jack, and connect it to the
port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the device.
NOTE: If you do not connect your answering machine directly to the device,
fax tones from a sending fax machine might be recorded on your answering
machine, and you might not be able to receive faxes with the device.

a parallel splitter. You can plug the answering machine into the “OUT” port on
the back of the computer.

							NOTE:You will need to purchase a parallel splitter. A parallel splitter has one
RJ-11 port on the front and two RJ-11  ports on the back. Do not use a 2–line
phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on
the front and a plug on the back.
To set up the device with a computer DSL/ADSL modem
1. Obtain a DSL/ADSL filter from your DSL/ADSL provider.
NOTE: Phones in other parts of the home/office sharing the same phone
number with DSL/ADSL service will need to be connected to additional DSL/
ADSL filters, otherwise you will experience noise when making voice calls.
2. Using the phone cord supplied in the box  with the device, connect one end to the
DSL/ADSL filter, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back
of the device.
NOTE: You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter
provided for your country/region.
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the DSL/ADSL filter to the
device, 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.
3.Connect the DSL/ADSL filter to the splitter.
4. Unplug the answering machine from the telephone wall jack, and connect it to the
port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the device.
NOTE: If you do not connect your answering machine directly to the device,
fax tones from a sending fax machine might be recorded on your answering
machine, and you probably will not be able to receive faxes with the device.

follow these instructions to set up your fax.
If you encounter problems setting up the device with optional equipment, contact your
local service provider or vendor for further assistance.
Case K: Shared voice/fax line with computer dial-up modem and voice mail
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, use a
computer dial-up modem on the same phone line, and subscribe to a voice mail
service through your telephone company, set up the device 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.
Since your computer dial-up modem shares the  phone line with the device, you cannot
use both your modem and the device  simultaneously. For example, you cannot use
the device for faxing if you are using  your computer dial-up modem to send an e-mail
or access the Internet.
There are two different ways to set up  the device with your computer based on the
