Use the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP PSC

1Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP PSC, 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 PSC.

Caution! If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to your HP PSC, 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 220.

2(Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to 1 ring or 2 rings.

For information on how to change this setting, see set number of rings before answering on page 61.

how your hp psc will answer fax calls

When the phone rings, your HP PSC will answer automatically after the number of rings you set in the Rings to Answer setting. Then it will begin emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine and receive the fax.

case B: faxing with a distinctive ring service on the same line

If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service through your phone company that allows you to have multiple phone numbers on one phone line, each with a different ring pattern, connect your HP PSC as described in this section.
