1.Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.

2.Using the phone cord provided in the box with the printer, connect one end to the DSL filter, and then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer.

NOTE: You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your

country/region.

If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the DSL filter to the back of the printer, 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.

3.Connect the DSL filter to the parallel splitter.

4.Connect the DSL modem to the parallel splitter.

When the phone rings, the printer automatically answers after the number of rings you set in the Rings to Answer setting. The printer begins emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine and receives the fax.

If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service provider or vendor for further assistance.

Their compact design ensures they fit well in various spaces, while their relatively low operating noise levels make them suitable for quiet office environments.

Both models utilize HP's high-capacity ink cartridges, providing cost-efficiency and high yield outputs. The availability of XL cartridges means less frequent replacements and lower cost per page, a crucial factor for budget-conscious users.

In summary, the HP 5745 and 5742 multifunction printers offer a balanced combination of print quality, speed, and advanced connectivity options.
