What type of telephone line are you using?
●
Dedicated line: A unique fax/telephone number assigned to receive or send faxes. The
fax cord should be connected to the device "line" port (the port that is marked with a
icon (HP LaserJet 3015 all-in-one or HP LaserJet 3030 all-in-one) or with an "L" (HP
LaserJet 3380 all-in-one)).
●
Shared telephone line: A system where both telephone calls and faxes are received or
sent by using the same telephone number and telephone line. A single, standard
telephone line can perform only one function at a time. You cannot send a fax while
talking on the telephone or while connecting to the Internet if you use the same
telephone line for telephone calls and fax jobs.
●
PBX system: A business-environment telephone system. Standard home telephones
and the HP LaserJet all-in-one devices use an analog telephone signal. Some PBX
systems are digital and might be incompatible with standard telephones and with
devices such as the HP LaserJet all-in-one.
●
Roll-over lines: A telephone system feature where, when one incoming line is busy, the
next call “rolls over” to the next available line. Try attaching the device to the first
incoming telephone line. The device will answer the telephone after it rings the number
of times that is specified in the device rings-to-answer setting. (See
Changing the rings-
to-answer setting
.)
●
Distinctive ring service: The telephone company can assign two telephone numbers to
one physical line and assign a distinctive ring pattern to each number. Make sure that
the device is set to respond to the correct distinctive ring pattern that your telephone
service provider assigned to the fax telephone number. (See
Changing ring patterns for
call answering
.) This service is not available in all regions/countries. Make sure that
your telephone company provides this service before changing the setting.
