Chapter 2

Select your fax setup case

Now that you have answered all the questions about the equipment and services that share the phone line with the HP Photosmart, you are ready to choose the best setup case for your home or office.

From the first column in the following table, choose the combination of equipment and services applicable to your home or office setting. Then look up the appropriate setup case in the second or third column based on your phone system. Step-by-step instructions are included for each case in the sections that follow.

If you have answered all the questions in the previous section and have none of the described equipment or services, choose "None" from the first column in the table.

NOTE: If your home or office setup is not described in this section, set up the HP Photosmart as you would a regular analog phone. Make sure you use the phone cord supplied in the box to connect one end to your telephone wall jack and the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the HP Photosmart. If you use another phone cord, you might experience problems sending and receiving faxes.
