To set up your HP all-in-one to a computer with one phone port

1Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your PC modem) to a telephone wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the telephone wall jack and plug it into the parallel splitter on the side with two phone ports.

2Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP all-in-one, 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 all-in-one.

Caution If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to your HP all-in-one, 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. If the supplied phone cord is too short, see The phone cord that came with my HP all-in-one is not long enough for information on extending it.

3Remove the white plug from the port labeled "2-EXT" on the back of your HP all- in-one.

4Using another phone cord, connect one end to the port labeled "2-EXT" on the back of your HP all-in-one. Connect the other end of the phone cord to the parallel splitter on the side with the single phone port.

5Unplug your answering machine from the telephone wall jack, and connect it to the parallel splitter on the side with two phone ports.

Note If you do not connect your answering machine in this way, fax tones from a sending fax machine might be recorded on your answering machine, and you might not be able to receive faxes with your HP all-in-one.
