Connecting additional devices
Depending on the setup of your phone lines, you can connect additional
devices to the phone line along with your HP LaserJet 3330.
As a general rule, no more than three or four devices should be
connected to a single phone line. If too many devices are connected to a
single phone line, one or more of the devices may not detect an
incoming call. If this occurs, disconnect one or more of the devices.
Note
The HP LaserJet 3330 cannot replace a computer modem. It will not act
as a data modem for sending and receiving e-mail, connecting to the
Internet, or communicating with other computers.
Dedicated fax line
If you connected your HP LaserJet 3330 to a phone line that is used only
for fax calls, you may want to connect the following devices:
●
Modem: You can connect a computer modem (external or internal)
to the fax line if you want to use the fax line for e-mail or for access
to the Internet, but you cannot send or receive faxes while using the
line for these purposes.
●
Extra phone: You can connect an extra phone to the fax line if you
want to make outgoing calls on the fax line.
You should not connect the following devices:
●
Answering machine or computer voicemail: If you use computer
voicemail, you must connect a modem (external or internal) to your
dedicated voice line. Then, use the dedicated voice line to connect
to the Internet and receive voicemail.
Shared phone line
If you connected your HP LaserJet 3330 to a phone line that is shared
between fax calls and voice calls, or if you have one phone line with two
phone numbers and a ring pattern service, you may want to connect the
following devices:
●
Modem: You can connect a computer modem (external or internal)
to the shared line if you want to use the shared line for e-mail or for
access to the Internet, but you cannot send or receive faxes while
using the line for these purposes.
●
Phone: You can connect a phone to the shared line if you want to
make or receive voice calls on the shared line.
●
Answering machine or computer voicemail: You should connect
these devices to the same phone jack as the product to make sure
the different devices do not interfere with one another.

Note
It is possible to connect devices to another phone jack for the same phone
line (in another room, for example); however, the devices may interfere
with faxing and with each other.
