3Connect a phone to the "OUT" port on the back of your PC modem.

4Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP all-in-one, 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 all-in-one.

Caution If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to your HP all-in-one, 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 phone cord that came with my HP all-in-one is not long enough for information on extending it.

You must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls, or your HP all-in-one cannot receive faxes. For information on receiving faxes manually, see Receive a fax manually.

Test your fax setup

You can test your fax setup to check the status of your HP all-in-one and to make sure it is set up properly for faxing. Perform this test after you have completed setting up your HP all-in-one for faxing. The test does the following:

●Checks the fax hardware

●Verifies that the phone cord is plugged into the correct port

●Checks for a dial tone

●Checks for an active phone line

●Checks the status of your phone line connection

The HP all-in-one prints a report with the results of the test. If the test fails, review the report for information on how to fix the problem and rerun the test.

To test your fax setup from the control panel

1Set up your HP all-in-one for faxing according to the setup instructions in this chapter.

2Make sure you have inserted the print cartridges and loaded paper before starting the test.

For more information, see Replace the print cartridges and Load full-size paper.
