how to choose the right fax setup for your office

Caution!
apply to you
instructions.
To fax successfully, you need to know what types of equipment and services (if
any) share the same telephone line with your HP Fax. This is important because
you might need to connect some of your existing office equipment directly to
your HP Fax, 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 Fax 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
ring service on the same line
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 Fax—to tell the difference between voice and fax calls when the
phone rings.
2 Do you receive voice calls at the same phone number you will use for fax
calls on your HP Fax?
!
Yes, I receive voice calls.
!
No.
Please continue answering questions.
