HP J5788, J5780 Set up the fax, Countries/regions with parallel- type phone systems, Venezuela

Set up the fax

This getting started guide provides instructions for setting up the fax.

For more information about fax features available with your device, see the onscreen user guide on the Starter CD.

CAUTION: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to your device, you might not be able to fax successfully.

This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office. If the supplied phone cord is too short, see the ”Solve fax problems“.

Step 1: Identify the type of phone system you are using (parallel or serial)

Before you begin setting up the device for faxing, determine which kind of phone system your country/ region uses.

NOTE: The instructions for fax setup differ depending on whether you have a serial- or parallel-type phone system.

If you do not see your country/region listed in the following sections, you probably have a serial-type phone system. If you are unsure which kind of telephone system you have (serial or parallel), check with your telephone company.

Countries/regions with parallel- type phone systems

In a parallel-type phone system, you are able to connect shared telephone equipment to the phone line by using the “2-EXT” port on the back of the device.

Argentina	Australia	Brazil
Canada	Chile	China
Colombia	Greece	India
Indonesia	Ireland	Japan
Korea	Latin America	Malaysia
Mexico	Philippines	Poland
Portugal	Russia	Saudi Arabia
Singapore	Spain	Taiwan
Thailand	USA	Venezuela
Vietnam

NOTE: If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use the 2-wire phone cord supplied with the device to connect it to the telephone wall jack.

If you have a parallel-type phone system, go to ”Step 2: Determine the type of phone line (dedicated or shared)“.

Countries/regions with serial-type phone systems

In a serial-type phone system, the connector type on your shared telephone equipment (modems, phones, and answering machines) does not allow a physical connection to the “2-EXT” port on the device. Instead, all equipment must be connected at the telephone wall jack.

NOTE: In some countries/regions that use serial-type phone systems, the phone cord that came with the device might have an additional wall plug attached to it. This enables you to connect other telecom devices to the wall jack where you plug in the device.

For information on setting up the device for faxing using a serial-type phone system, see the Fax Configuration Web site for your country/region.
