Set up faxing for the device 
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 will learn how to set up the device 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 Fax Setup Utility
(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 the Fax Setup Wizard
(Windows) or HP Fax Setup Utility (Mac OS X) through the software you installed
with the device. After you run the Fax  Setup Wizard (Windows) or HP Fax Setup
Utility (Mac OS X), follow the procedures in  this section to complete your fax setup.

							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.
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 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.

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 device. This is important because you might need
to connect some of your existing office equipment directly to the device, 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 device.
• Computer dial-up modem: A computer dial-up modem is on the same phone line as the device. 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?

							• Answering machine: An answering machine that answers voice calls at thesame phone number you use for fax calls on the device.
• Voice mail service: A voice mail subscription through your telephone company at the same number you use for fax calls on the device.
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
device 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 device. 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 device with a separate fax line
1.Using the phone cord supplied in the box  with the device, connect one end to your
telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the
back of the device.
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 device, 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 device answers automatically after the number of rings you
set in the  Rings to Answer  setting. The device begins emitting fax reception tones to
the sending fax machine and receives the fax.
Case B: Set up the device with DSL
If you have a DSL service through your  telephone company, and do not connect any
equipment to the device, use the instructions in this section to connect a DSL filter
between the telephone wall jack and the device. The DSL filter removes the digital
signal that can interfere with the device, so the device can communicate properly 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 will not
be able to send and receive faxes with the device.

							To set up the device with DSL
1.Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.
2. Using the phone cord supplied in the box  with the device, 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 device.
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 device,
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 device with optional equipment, contact your
local service provider or vendor for further assistance.
Case C: Set up the device 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 device 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 will interfere with any fax transmission, and
you will not be able to send or receive faxes with the device. 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 beforedialing the fax number.
• Make sure you use the supplied cord  to connect from the telephone wall jack to
the device. 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 device with optional equipment, contact your
local service provider or vendor for further assistance.
Case D: Fax with a distinctive ring service on the same line
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service (through your telephone company) that
allows you to have multiple phone numbers  on one phone line, each with a different
ring pattern, set up the device as described in this section.
