Case F: Shared voice/fax line with voice mail
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also
subscribe to a voice mail service through your telephone company, set up the
HP Photosmart 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.

To set up the product with voice mail
1. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the product, connect one end to your
telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back

jack to the product, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone

3. Run a fax test.
You must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls, or the product cannot
receive faxes.

In order to receive faxes successfully, you might need to change some settings on the
HP Photosmart. If you are unsure which setting to choose for a specific fax option, refer
to the detailed fax setup instructions provided in the printed documentation.
