HP MFP Analog Fax Accessory 700 - Fax Guide

Connect the fax accessory to a phone line
When connecting the fax accessory to a phone line, ensure that the phone line being used for the fax accessory
is a dedicated line that is not used by any other devices. Also, this line should be an analog line because the fax
will not function correctly if it is connected to some digital PBX systems. If you are not sure whether you have an
analog or digital phone line, contact your telecom provider.
NOTE: HP recommends using the phone cord that comes with the fax accessory to ensure that the accessory
functions correctly.
Follow these instructions to connect the fax accessory to a phone jack.
1. Locate the phone cord that is included with the fax accessory kit. Connect one end of the phone cord into
the fax accessory phone jack that is on the fax card. Push the connector until it clicks.
CAUTION: Be sure to connect the phone line to the fax accessory port. Do not connect the phone line to
the LAN port, which is nearer the bottom of the formatter.
2. Connect the other end of the phone cord into the phone jack on the wall. Push the connector until it clicks
or until it is securely seated. Because dierent types of connectors are used in dierent countries/regions,
the connector might not make an audible click.
