Case F: Shared voice/fax line with voice mail

If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also subscribe to
a voice mail service through your telephone company, set up the printer as described in this
section.

NOTE: You cannot receive faxes automatically if you 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.
