Case G: Fax line shared with computer modem (no voice
calls received)
If you have a fax line on which you receive no voice calls, and you also have a
computer modem connected on this line, set up your HP All-in-One as described in
this section.
Since your computer modem shares the phone line with your HP All-in-One, you will
not be able to use both your computer modem and your HP All-in-One for faxing
simultaneously. For example, you cannot use your HP All-in-One for faxing if you are
using your computer modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.
