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.
Connect the phone cord that came with the printer to the Fax
port on the printer and to the telephone jack on the wall.
How do I connect an answering machine or
extension phone?
1. Remove the plug from the phone port .
2. Disconnect the answering machine phone cord from the
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
on the printer and to the telephone jack on the wall.
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.
