To set up the HP Photosmart on the same phone line as a computer with two phone ports

1.Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the HP Photosmart.

2.Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your computer dial-up modem) to a telephone wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the HP Photosmart.

3.Unplug your answering machine from the telephone wall jack, and connect it to the “OUT” port on the back of your computer modem.

This allows a direct connection between the HP Photosmart and your answering machine, even though the computer modem is connected first in line.

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 the

HP Photosmart.

4.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP Photosmart, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the HP Photosmart.

NOTE: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the HP Photosmart, 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.

5.(Optional) If your answering machine does not have a built-in phone, for convenience you might want to connect a phone to the back of your answering machine at the "OUT" port.

NOTE: If your answering machine does not let you connect an external phone, you can purchase and use a parallel splitter (also known as a coupler) to connect both the answering machine and telephone to the HP Photosmart. You can use standard phone cords for these connections.
