Set up the HP All-in-One for faxing
Before you begin setting up the HP All-in-One for faxing, determine which kind of phone system your country/region uses. The instructions for setting up the HP All-in-One for faxing differ depending on whether you have a serial- or parallel-type phone system.
●If you do not see your country/region listed in the table below, you probably have a serial-type phone system. In a serial-type phone system, the connector type on your shared telephone equipment (modems, phones, and answering machines) does not allow a physical connection to the "2-EXT" port on the HP All-in-One. Instead, all equipment must be connected at the telephone wall jack.
Note In some countries/regions that use serial-type phone systems, the phone cord that came with the HP All-in-One might have an additional wall plug attached to it. This enables you to connect other telecom devices to the wall jack where you plug in the HP All-in-One.
●If your country/region is listed in the table below, you probably have a parallel-type telephone system. In a parallel-type phone system, you are able to connect shared telephone equipment to the phone line by using the "2-EXT" port on the back of the HP All-in-One.
Note If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use the 2-wire phone cord supplied with the HP All-in-One to connect the HP All- in-One to the telephone wall jack.
