Chapter 3

For example, you cannot use the HP All-in-One for faxing if you are using your computer dial-up modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.

There are two different ways to set the HP All-in-One with your computer based on the number of phone ports on your computer. Before you begin, check your computer to see if it has one or two phone ports.

●If your computer has only one phone port, you will need to purchase a parallel splitter (also called a coupler), as shown below. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a 2-line phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on the front and a plug on the back.)

Example of a parallel splitter

●If your computer has two phone ports, set up the HP All-in-One as described below.
