HP 7200 - Manual (Page 100)

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.
5. (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.
6. If your computer modem software is set to receive faxes to your computer
automatically, turn off that setting.
Caution If you do not turn off the auto fax receive setting in your
computer modem software, your HP All-in-One will not be able to receive
faxes.
7. Set up the HP All-in-One to answer incoming calls automatically. Press the Auto
Answer button until the light is on.
8. Set your answering machine to answer after four or fewer rings.
9. Change the Rings to Answer setting on your HP All-in-One to six rings.
For information on changing this setting, see Set the number of rings before
answering .
10. Run a fax test. For information, see Test your fax setup .
When the phone rings, your answering machine will answer after the number of rings
you have set, and then play your recorded greeting. The HP All-in-One monitors the
call during this time, "listening" for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the
HP All-in-One will emit fax reception tones and receive the fax; if there are no fax
tones, the HP All-in-One stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can
record a voice message.
Case K: Shared voice/fax line with computer modem and
voice mail
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, use a
computer modem on the same phone line, and subscribe to a voice mail service
through your telephone company, set up your HP All-in-One 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 modem shares the phone line with your HP All-in-One, you will
not be able to use both your computer modem and your HP All-in-One for faxing
simultaneously. For example, you cannot use your HP All-in-One for faxing if you are
using your computer modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.
