Step 2: Determine The Type Of Phone Line (Dedicated Or Shared) - HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Guide De Démarrage

Serial-type phone systems
In a serial-type phone system, the connector type on
your shared telephone equipment (modems, phones,
and answering machines) does not allow a physical
connection to the "2-EXT" port on the HP Officejet/
Officejet Pro device. Instead, all equipment must be
connected at the telephone wall jack.
In some countries/regions that use serial-type
NOTE:
phone systems, an adapter is provided that enables you
to connect other telecom devices to the wall jack where
you plug in the HP Officejet/Officejet Pro device.
For information on setting up the HP Officejet/Officejet
Pro device for faxing using a serial-type phone system,

Step 2: Determine the type of phone line (dedicated or
shared)
If you have determined that you use a parallel-type
phone system, determine if the HP Officejet/Officejet
Pro device will have its own phone line (dedicated
phone line) or if it will share the phone line with another
device (shared phone line).
If you are going to connect another device to the
HP Officejet/Officejet Pro device, you will need to
change settings such as how many rings to allow before
picking up, whether you have a distinctive ring service,
and whether to automatically answer the phone line.

You cannot receive faxes automatically if you
NOTE:
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 change the Auto Answer setting, see the electronic
user guide available on the computer after installing the
