fax setup

case A: separate fax line (no voice calls received)

If you have a separate fax line on which you receive no voice calls, and you have no other equipment connected on this phone line, connect your

HP Officejet as described in this section.

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

Telephone wall jack

Back view of the HP Officejet

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 120.

2(Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to 1 ring or 2 rings.

For information about how to change this setting, see set the number of rings before answering on page 39.

how your hp officejet will answer fax calls

When the phone rings, your HP Officejet 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.
