HP Photosmart Premium C309 User Manual

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.
