							C Additional fax setup
After completing all the steps in the getting started guide, use the instructions in this section to
complete your fax setup. Keep your getting started guide for later use.
In this section, you learn how to set up the printer so that faxing works successfully with equipment
and services you might already have on the same phone line.
TIP:You can also use the Fax Setup Wizard (Windows) or HP Setup Assistant (Mac OS X) to
help you quickly set up some important fax settings such as the answer mode and fax header
information. You can access these tools through the HP software you installed with the printer.
After you run these tools, follow the procedures in this section to complete your fax setup.
This section contains the following topics:
•
Set up faxing (parallel phone systems)
•
Serial-type fax setup
•
Test fax setup
Set up faxing (parallel phone systems)
Before you begin setting up the printer 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 might 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 printer. 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 printer 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 printer.
You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/
region.
• If your country/region is listed in the table below, you might 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 printer.
NOTE:If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use the 2-wire
phone cord supplied with the printer to connect it to the telephone wall jack.

Case K: Shared voice/fax line with computer dial-up modem and voice mail
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 printer. This is important because you might need to connect some of your
existing office equipment directly to the printer, and you might also need to change some fax settings
before you can fax successfully.
1.Determine if your telephone system is serial or parallel (see 
Set up faxing (parallel phone
systems)).
a. Serial-type telephone system — See 
Serial-type fax setup.
b. Parallel-type telephone system — Go to step 2.
2.Select the combination of equipment and services sharing your fax line.
• DSL: A Digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your telephone company. (DSL might
be called ADSL in your country/region.)
• PBX: A private branch exchange (PBX) phone system or an integrated services digital
network (ISDN) system.
• Distinctive ring service: A distinctive ring service through your telephone company provides
multiple telephone numbers with different ring patterns.
• Voice calls: Voice calls are received at the same phone number you use for fax calls on the
printer.
• Computer dial-up modem: A computer dial-up modem is on the same phone line as the
printer. If you answer Yes to any of the following questions, you are using a computer dial-
up modem:
◦Do you send and receive faxes directly to and from your computer software applications
through a dial-up connection?
◦Do you send and receive e-mail messages on your computer through a dial-up
connection?
◦Do you access the Internet from your computer through a dial-up connection? Countries/regions with a parallel-type phone system (continued)

							• Answering machine: An answering machine that answers voice calls at the same phone
number you use for fax calls on the printer.
• Voice mail service: A voice mail subscription through your telephone company at the same
number you use for fax calls on the printer.
3.From the following table, choose the combination of equipment and services applicable to your
home or office setting. Then look up the recommended fax setup. Step-by-step instructions are
included for each case in the sections that follow.
NOTE:If your home or office setup is not described in this section, set up the printer 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 printer. If you use another phone cord, you might experience problems sending and receiving
faxes.
You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/
region.

							To set up the printer with a separate fax line
1.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, connect one end to your telephone
wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer.
NOTE:You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for
your country/region.
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the printer,
you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone
cords you might already have in your home or office.
2.Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
3.(Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).
4.Run a fax test.
When the phone rings, the printer answers automatically after the number of rings you set in the
Rings to Answer setting. The printer begins emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine
and receives the fax.
Case B: Set up the printer with DSL
If you have a DSL service through your telephone company, and do not connect any equipment to
the printer, use the instructions in this section to connect a DSL filter between the telephone wall
jack and the printer. The DSL filter removes the digital signal that can interfere with the printer, so
the printer can communicate correctly with the phone line. (DSL might be called ADSL in your
country/region.)
NOTE:If you have a DSL line and you do not connect the DSL filter, you cannot send and
receive faxes with the printer.

Appendix C
204 Additional fax setup
 
						

							To set up the printer with DSL
1.Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.
2.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, connect one end to the open port on
the DSL filter, and then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the
printer.
NOTE:You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for
your country/region.
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the DSL filter to the printer, you might
not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords
you might already have in your home or office.
As only one phone cord is supplied, you might need to obtain additional phone cords for this
setup.
3.Connect an additional phone cord from the DSL filter to the telephone wall jack.
4.Run a fax test.
If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service
provider or vendor for further assistance.
Case C: Set up the printer with a PBX phone system or an ISDN line
If you are using either a PBX phone system or an ISDN converter/terminal adapter, make sure you
do the following:
• If you are using either a PBX or an ISDN converter/terminal adaptor, connect the printer to the
port that is designated for fax and phone use. Also, make sure that the terminal adapter is set
to the correct switch type for your country/region, if possible.
NOTE:Some ISDN systems allow you to configure the ports for specific phone equipment.
For example, you might have assigned one port for telephone and Group 3 fax and another
port for multiple purposes. If you have problems when connected to the fax/phone port of
your ISDN converter, try using the port designated for multiple purposes; it might be labeled
multi-combi or something similar.
• If you are using a PBX phone system, set the call waiting tone to off.
NOTE:Many digital PBX systems include a call-waiting tone that is set to on by default.
The call waiting tone interferes with any fax transmission, and you cannot send or receive
faxes with the printer. Refer to the documentation that came with your PBX phone system
for instructions on how to turn off the call-waiting tone.
• If you are using a PBX phone system, dial the number for an outside line before dialing the fax
number.
• Make sure you use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the printer. If
you do not, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from
the phone cords you might already have in your home or office. If the supplied phone cord is
too short, you can purchase a coupler from your local electronics store and extend it.
You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/
region.
If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service
provider or vendor for further assistance.

2.Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
3.Change the Distinctive Ring setting to match the pattern that the telephone company assigned
to your fax number.
NOTE:By default, the printer is set to answer all ring patterns. If you do not set the
Distinctive Ring to match the ring pattern assigned to your fax number, the printer might
answer both voice calls and fax calls or it might not answer at all.
TIP:You can also use the Ring Pattern Detection feature in the printer’s control panel to
set distinctive ring. With this feature, the printer recognizes and records the ring pattern of
an incoming call and, based on this call, automatically determines the distinctive ring pattern
assigned by your telephone company to fax calls. For more information, see 
Change the
answer ring pattern for distinctive ring.
