Additional fax setup
After completing all the steps in the Getting Started Guide, use the instructions in this section to complete
your fax setup. Keep your Getting Started Guide for later use.
In this section, you learn how to set up the printer so that faxing works successfully with equipment and
services you might already have on the same phone line.
TIP: You can also use the Fax Setup Wizard (Windows) to quickly set up some important fax settings such as
the answer mode and fax header information. You can access these tools through the HP software you
installed with the printer. After you run these tools, follow the procedures in this section to complete your fax
setup.

Select the correct fax setup for your home or oice
To fax successfully, you need to know what types of equipment and services (if any) share the same phone
line with the printer. This is important because you might need to connect some of your existing oice
equipment directly to the printer, and you might also need to change some fax settings before you can fax
successfully.
1. Select the combination of equipment and services sharing your fax line.
