Choose the correct 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 the HP Photosmart. This is important because you might need to connect some of your existing office equipment directly to the HP Photosmart, and you might also need to change some fax settings before you can fax successfully.

To determine the best way to set up the HP Photosmart in your home or office, first read through the questions in this section and record your answers. Next, refer to the table in the following section and choose the recommended setup case based on your answers.
