fax setup
how to choose the right fax setup for your office
To fax successfully, you need to know what types of equipment and services (if
any) share the same telephone line with your HP Officejet. This is important
because you might need to connect some of your existing office equipment
directly to your HP Officejet, and you might also need to change some fax
settings before you can fax successfully.
To determine the best way to set up the HP Officejet in your office, first read
through the questions in this section and record your answers. Next, refer to the
table in the following section and choose the recommended setup case based
on your answers.
Be sure to read and answer the following questions in the order they are
presented.
1 Do you subscribe to a distinctive ring service through your phone company
that provides multiple phone numbers with different ring patterns?
! Yes, I have distinctive ring.
! No.
If you answered “Yes,” proceed directly to case B: faxing with a distinctive
ring service on the same line on page 96. You do not need to continue
answering questions.
If you answered “No,” please continue answering questions.
Not sure if you have distinctive ring? Many phone companies offer a
distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on
one phone line.
When you subscribe to this service, each number will have a different ring
pattern—for example, single, double, and triple rings. You might assign
one phone number with a single ring to your voice calls, and another
phone number with double rings to your fax calls. This allows you—and
your HP Officejet—to tell the difference between voice and fax calls when
the phone rings.
