faxing from a DSL line

If you have a digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your phone company, use the instructions in this section to connect a DSL filter between the telephone wall jack and your HP Officejet. This filter removes the digital signal that would block your HP Officejet from communicating properly with the telephone line.

Caution! 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 Officejet.

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

Caution! If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the DSL filter to your HP Officejet, you may not be able to fax successfully. If you live in one of the countries listed in the table on page 119, you received a special 2-wire cord. 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 146.

1Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.

2Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP Officejet, connect one end to the open port on the DSL filter, then connect the other end to the port labeled “1-LINE” on the back of your HP Officejet.

3Connect the DSL filter cord to the telephone wall jack.

The HP 4255, 4215, and 4215xi are part of Hewlett-Packard's renowned line of multifunction printers (MFP) that cater to a variety of business needs. Designed for productivity, these models combine printing, scanning, copying, and faxing functions, making them ideal for small to medium-sized offices.

The HP 4255 is known for its high-speed printing capabilities, reaching up to 50 pages per minute, making it suitable for environments with high print volumes. This model features automatic duplex printing, which allows users to print on both sides of the paper, saving both time and resources. With a monthly duty cycle of up to 150,000 pages, it is built to handle heavy workloads. The 4255 includes a large input tray that can accommodate up to 4,700 sheets, reducing the frequency of paper reloading.

On the other hand, the HP 4215 and 4215xi offer similar functionalities but cater to a somewhat different market segment. The 4215 series provides solid performance with print speeds of up to 35 pages per minute. While it is slightly slower than the 4255, it still delivers excellent quality prints with a maximum resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi. The 4215xi adds enhanced features such as an intuitive color touchscreen display, which simplifies navigation and operation for users of all skill levels.

These printers utilize HP’s innovative Print Contract Technology, which optimizes print quality and device efficiency. Their Smart Duplexing feature further enhances paper savings by automatically detecting when double-sided printing is more efficient. The devices are designed with a user-friendly interface, enabling quick access to all functions.

Connectivity options are abundant across these models, including USB, Ethernet, and wireless capabilities. This ensures that users can print directly from their computers, tablets, or smartphones, promoting a seamless workflow.

In terms of energy efficiency, all three models are ENERGY STAR certified. They incorporate features that minimize power consumption during idle periods and utilize HP's Instant-on Technology, which allows for fast warm-up times, saving both energy and time.

In conclusion, the HP 4255, 4215, and 4215xi printers exemplify reliability and efficiency in the MFP market. Their advanced features, high-speed printing capabilities, and exceptional multifunctionality make them valuable assets for any business looking to enhance productivity and streamline printing operations.
