Fax setup
Choose the right fax setup for your home or office
To fax successfully, you need to know what types of equipment and services (if any) share the same phone line with your HP
To determine the best way to set up the HP
Make sure to read and answer the following questions in the order they are presented.
1Do you have a digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your telephone company?
❑Yes, I have DSL.
❑No.
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case B: Set up your HP
If you answered No, please continue answering questions.
2Do you have a private branch exchange (PBX) phone system or an integrated services digital network (ISDN) system?
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case C: Set up your HP
If you answered No, please continue answering questions.
3Do you subscribe to a distinctive ring service through your telephone company that provides multiple phone numbers with different ring patterns?
❑Yes, I have distinctive ring.
❑No.
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case D: Fax with a distinctive ring service on the same line. You do not need to continue answering questions.
If you answered No, please continue answering questions.
Are you unsure if you have distinctive ring? Many phone companies offer a distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on one phone line.
When you subscribe to this service, each phone number will have a different ring pattern. For example, you can have single, double, and triple rings for the different numbers. You might assign one phone number with a single ring to your voice calls, and another phone number with double rings to your fax calls. This allows you to tell the difference between voice and fax calls when the phone rings.
