Note: Since your PC modem shares the telephone line with your HP PSC, you will not be able to use both your PC modem and your HP PSC simultaneously. For example, while you are sending and receiving faxes, you will not be able to send/receive e-mail or access the Internet.

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

1Remove the white plug from the port labeled “2-EXT” on the back of your

HP PSC.

2Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your PC modem) to a telephone wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled “2-EXT” on the back of your

HP PSC.

3If your PC modem’s software is set to automatically receive faxes to your computer, turn off that setting.

Caution! If you do not turn off the auto fax receive setting in your modem software, your HP PSC will not be able to receive faxes.

4Connect a phone to the “out” port on the back of your PC modem.

5Using 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.

6Change the Rings to Answer setting to No Answer using the instructions in set up your hp psc to answer fax calls manually on page 62.
