Shared line with distinctive ring (Case B)
If in Step 2 you connected the HP OfficeJet to a phone line that uses a
distinctive ring service through
your telephone company, use
this connection diagram.
The distinctive ring telephone
service, which is unavailable in
many areas, allows you to have
2 or 3 phone numbers on the
same phone line. Each number
has a ring with a different pat-
tern so you can tell the differ-
ence between incoming calls.
For more detailed information
on setting up Distinctive Ring,
refer to “Using Distinctive Ring” under “Using Advanced Fax Fea-
tures and Settings” in Chapter 3.
●
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 main benefits of connecting a phone in this situation are 1) In
case you need to send a fax (press START) while having a con-
versation with someone who must receive their faxes manually,
and 2) For the convenience of having a phone close by to make
outgoing voice calls.
Important: If you have an answering machine for receiving voice
calls on this phone line (different phone number), set it to answer
after 3 or more rings. If you don’t, your HP OfficeJet will not be
able to receive your fax calls.
Important: If you have a PC-modem or an external modem on this
phone line (different phone number), turn off the setting in the
modem’s software that automatically receive faxes to your com-
puter; if you don’t, your HP OfficeJet will not be able to receive
faxes properly.
