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

Caution! If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to your HP Officejet, 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 146.

2Remove the white plug from the port labeled “2-EXT” on the back of your HP Officejet, and then connect a phone to this port.

3Follow the instructions below that apply to your HP Officejet.
