How do I set up HP printers in digital phone environments?
HP printers are designed specically for use with traditional analog phone services. If you are in a digital
phone environment (such as DSL/ADSL, PBX, ISDN, or VoIP), you might need to use digital-to-analog lters or
converters when setting up the printer for faxing.
Note: 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 your phone company to determine which setup options are
best for you.
Note: If you are setting up ring pattern detection in a PBX phone system that has dierent ring patterns for
internal and external calls, make sure you dial the fax number of your printer using an external number when
recording the ring pattern.
