HP 7500A Wide Format - E9 manual Test fax setup, Connecting additional equipment

Connecting additional equipment

Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the printer, and then connect a phone to this port.

If you are connecting additional equipment, such as a dial-up computer modem or a telephone, you will need to purchase a parallel splitter. A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a 2–line phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on the front and a plug on the back.

Note: If you subscribe to a DSL/ADSL service, connect to the DSL/ADSL filter to the parallel splitter, and then use the HP-provided telephone cord to connect the other end of the filter to the 1-Line port on the printer. Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the printer, and then connect a telephone set or telephone answering machine to the 2-EXT port. Next, connect the second port of the parallel splitter to the DSL/ADSL modem which is connecting to the computer.

Step 2: Test fax setup

Test your fax setup to check the status of the printer and make sure it is set up properly for faxing.

The fax test does the following:

•Tests the fax hardware

•Verifies the correct type of phone cord is connected to the printer

•Checks that the phone cord is plugged into the correct port

•Checks for a dial tone

•Checks for an active phone line

•Tests the status of your phone line connection

1.From the printer control panel, touch and then touch Setup.

2.Touch Tools, and then touch Run Fax Test. The printer displays the status of the test on the display and prints a report. After the test is finished, the printer prints a report with the results of the test. If the test fails, review the report for information on how to fix the problem and rerun the test. For additional troubleshooting information, see ”Problems setting up the printer” on page 22.
