1Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP Fax, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled “1-LINE” on the back of your HP Fax.

Caution! If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to your HP Fax, you probably will not be able to fax successfully. This special 2-wire cord is different from the more common 4-wire phone cords you might already have in your office. For more information about how to tell the difference between the cords, see I have difficulties when sending faxes and when receiving faxes. on page 105.

how your hp fax will answer fax calls

The HP Fax automatically answers all incoming calls based on the Rings to Answer setting. If the call is a fax call, the HP Fax will receive the fax.

If the call is a voice call, the HP Fax will create a special ring to indicate it is a voice call. You will need to answer the incoming voice call using the handset. You should not answer voice calls from other telephones on the line. The device cannot tell that you picked up the extension phone and will keep ringing. You will have to press Cancel on the HP Fax to stop the ringing.
