Important: If your external modem’s software is set to automati-
cally receive faxes to your computer, turn off that setting; if you
don’t, your HP OfficeJet will not be able to receive faxes prop-
erly.
● Connect your phone to the HP OfficeJet. Connect the cord from
your phone to either of the two ports on the back of the HP Office-
Jet labelled, “To Phone, Answering Machine, or Modem.”
The benefits of connecting a phone in this situation are 1) For the
convenience of having a phone close by to make outgoing voice
calls, and 2) In case you need to send a fax (press START) after
calling someone who must receive their faxes manually.

matically receive faxes with the HP OfficeJet:
Your fax line will
ring once, then the HP OfficeJet will answer and begin emitting fax
tones to the sending machine.
● Continue with Step 7, “Install the Software - REQUIRED!”

manually, and 2) In case you need to send a fax (press START)
while having a conversation with someone who must receive their
faxes manually.
