Case H: Shared voice/fax line with computer dial-up modem
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also
have a computer dial-up modem connected on this phone line, set up the HP All-in-
One as described in this section.
Since your computer dial-up modem shares the phone line with the HP All-in-One,
you will not be able to use both your modem and the HP All-in-One simultaneously.
For example, you cannot use the HP All-in-One 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 HP All-in-One 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 (also called a coupler), 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 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.)
Example of a parallel splitter
● If your computer has two phone ports, set up the HP All-in-One as described
below.
