Set up faxing (parallel phone systems)

Before you begin setting up the device for faxing, determine which kind of phone system your country/region uses. The instructions for fax setup 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 device. 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 device 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 device.

•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 device.

NOTE: If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use the 2-wire phone cord supplied with the device to connect it to the telephone wall jack.
