In Business with the HP Brio PC
Communicating with Others
Enabling & Disabling Fax Reception
Sometimes you may not want the fax modem to automatically answer calls — if you
only have one telephone line, for example, and you’re expecting a telephone call
from a customer, rather than a fax!
To enable or disable fax reception,
1
From your fax application select,
Menu
➨
Configure
➨
Options
The window shows a choice of tabs.
2
Select the
Answering
tab.
3
Select/de-select the
Do Not Answer
option from the drop down list.
Sending & Reading E-mails
Electronic mail — e-mail — is a system of sending messages from one computer to
another. Your HP Brio PC uses the modem as the means for sending and receiving e-
mails. People use e-mail because it is fast — very fast. While an express letter might
take a day to get from one continent to another, an e-mail would typically be there in
a matter of minutes. And the cost is slashed, to the price typically of a local
telephone call.
Accessing the Internet
The Internet — sometimes called the net, world wide web, or web — has become
almost an indispensable tool for many businesses today. Yet many people either do
not understand it fully. This can mean time wasted, and lost opportunities.
