HP 3100 manual To set up your HP All-in-One with a separate fax line

To set up your HP All-in-One with a separate fax line

1.Using 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.

Note 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.

2.Set the Auto Answer setting to On.

For information on changing this setting, see Set the answer mode.

3.(Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings). For information on changing this setting, see Set the number of rings before answering.

4.Run a fax test. For information, see Test your fax setup.

When the phone rings, your HP All-in-One 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: Set up your HP All-in-One with DSL

If you have a DSL service through your telephone company, use the instructions in this section to connect a DSL filter between the telephone wall jack and your HP All-in- One. The DSL filter removes the digital signal that can interfere with your HP All-in- One, so the HP All-in-One can communicate properly with the phone line. (DSL might be called ADSL in your country/region.)

Note If you have a DSL line and you do not connect the DSL filter, you will not be able to send and receive faxes with your HP All-in-One.
