Set up the fax
This getting started guide provides instructions for
setting up the fax.
For more information about fax features available with
your device, see the onscreen user guide on the
Starter CD.
CAUTION: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect
from the telephone wall jack to your device, you might not be
able to fax successfully.
This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you
might already have in your home or office. If the supplied
phone cord is too short, see the ”Solve fax problems“.
Step 1: Identify the type of phone system you are using
(parallel or serial)
Before you begin setting up the device for faxing,
determine which kind of phone system your country/
region uses.
NOTE: The instructions for fax setup differ depending
on whether you have a serial- or parallel-type phone
system.
If you do not see your country/region listed in the
following sections, you probably have a serial-type
phone system. If you are unsure which kind of telephone
system you have (serial or parallel), check with your
telephone company.
Countries/regions with parallel-
type phone systems
In a parallel-type phone system, you are able to connect
shared telephone equipment to the phone line by using
the “2-EXT” port on the back of the device.
NOTE: If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP
recommends you use the 2-wire phone cord supplied
with the device to connect it to the telephone wall jack.
If you have a parallel-type phone system, go to ”Step 2:
Determine the type of phone line (dedicated or
shared)“.
Countries/regions with serial-type
phone systems
In a serial-type phone system, the connector type on
your shared telephone equipment (modems, phones,
and answering machines) does not allow a physical
connection to the “2-EXT” port on the device. Instead,
all equipment must be connected at the telephone wall
jack.
NOTE: In some countries/regions that use serial-type
phone systems, the phone cord that came with the
device might have an additional wall plug attached
to it. This enables you to connect other telecom devices
to the wall jack where you plug in the device.
For information on setting up the device for faxing using
a serial-type phone system, see the Fax Configuration
Web site for your country/region.
