faxing with a PBX phone system or an ISDN line

If your telephone line has a PBX system, make sure you dial the number for an outside line before dialing the fax number.

Caution! Many digital PBX systems include a call-waiting tone that is factory-set to “on.” This call-waiting tone will interfere with any fax transmission, and you will not be able to send or receive faxes with your HP Fax. Refer to your digital PBX system’s documentation for instructions on how to turn off the call-waiting tone.

If you are using either a PBX or an ISDN converter, make sure the HP Fax is connected to the port that is designated for fax and phone use.

Some ISDN systems allow you to configure the ports for specific phone equipment—for example, you might have assigned one for telephone and Group 3 fax and another for multiple purposes.

Note: If you have problems when connected to the fax/phone port of your ISDN converter, try using the port designated for multiple purposes (might be labeled “multi-combi” or something similar).

how to tell if the following instructions apply to you

The rest of the fax setup instructions in this chapter are intended for parallel-type telephone systems, which are most common in the countries/regions listed in the table below.

•If all of your telephone equipment (modems, phones, answering machines, and faxes) connects directly to your telephone wall jack, you probably have a serial-type telephone system. Check the table below to make sure that your country/region does not appear in the list. If you are unsure which kind of telephone system you have (parallel or serial), check with your telephone company. If you have a serial system, you do not need to read further. If you have Caller ID on the line where you will install your HP Fax, please refer to use caller ID on page 47 and block junk fax numbers on page 47.

•If your country/region is listed, use the following instructions to complete your fax setup.
