Connect the printer
The printer is an analog device. HP recommends using the printer on a
dedicated analog telephone line.
NOTE: Some countries/regions might require an adapter for the
phone cord that came with the printer.
Remove the cover from the fax ports. Connect the phone cord that came
with the printer to the fax
port on the printer and to the telephone
jack on the wall. Reinstall the fax port cover.
How do I connect an answering machine or
extension phone?

jack, and then connect it to the phone port
on the printer.
3. Connect the phone cord that came with the printer to the fax port

How do I set up HP printers in digital phone
environments?
HP printers are designed specically for use with traditional analog phone
services. For a digital phone environment (such as DSL/ADSL, PBX, ISDN,
or FoIP), digital-to-analog lters or converters might be necessary when
setting up the printer for fax.
Note: Depending on the phone company, the printer might not be
compatible with all digital service lines or providers, in all digital
environments, or with all digital-to-analog converters. Contact the phone
company to determine which setup options are best.
Note: When setting up ring pattern detection in a PBX phone system
that has dierent ring patterns for internal and external calls, make sure
to dial the printer fax number using an external number for recording
the ring pattern.
