Tips for setting up and using a networked printer
Use the following tips to set up and use a networked printer:
•When setting up the wireless networked printer, make sure your wireless router or
access point is powered on. The printer searches for wireless routers, then lists the
detected network names on the display.
•To verify the wireless connection, check the blue wireless light on the Wireless
button.
◦If the light is off, this indicates that the wireless radio is off and the HP Photosmart
is not connected to the network.
◦If the light is on, this indicates that the wireless radio is on and there is a network
connection.
◦If the light is blinking, this indicates that the wireless radio is on but there is no
network connection.
•If your computer is connected to a Virtual Private Network (VPN), you need to
disconnect from the VPN before you can access any other device on your network,
including the printer.
•To learn more about how to find your network security settings, change from a USB
to a wireless connection, and work with your firewall and anti-virus programs during
printer setup, see the printed documentation for information.

							Set up the HP Photosmart for faxing
Before you begin setting up the HP Photosmart for faxing, determine which kind of phone
system your country/region uses. The instructions for setting up the HP Photosmart for
faxing 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 HP Photosmart. 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 HP Photosmart 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 HP Photosmart.
•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
HP Photosmart.
NOTE:If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use the
2-wire phone cord supplied with the HP Photosmart to connect the HP Photosmart
to the telephone wall jack.

							If you are unsure which kind of telephone system you have (serial or parallel), check with
your telephone company.
See the following sections to set up the HP Photosmart for faxing:
•Choose the correct fax setup for your home or office
•Select your fax setup case
•Additional fax setup information
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 HP Photosmart. This is important because you might need
to connect some of your existing office equipment directly to the HP Photosmart, and you
might also need to change some fax settings before you can fax successfully.
To determine the best way to set up the HP Photosmart in your home or office, first read
through the questions in this section and record your answers. Next, refer to the table in
the following section and choose the recommended setup case based on your answers.
Make sure to read and answer the following questions in the order they are presented.
1.Do you have a digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your telephone company?
(DSL might be called ADSL in your country/region.)
 Yes, I have DSL.
No.
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case B: Set up the HP Photosmart with
DSL. You do not need to continue answering questions.
If you answered No, please continue answering questions.
2.Do you have a private branch exchange (PBX) phone system or an integrated
services digital network (ISDN) system?
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case C: Set up the HP Photosmart with a
PBX phone system or an ISDN line. You do not need to continue answering questions.
If you answered No, please continue answering questions.
3.Do you subscribe to a distinctive ring service through your telephone company that
provides multiple phone numbers with different ring patterns?
 Yes, I have distinctive ring.
No.
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case D: Fax with a distinctive ring service
on the same line. You do not need to continue answering questions.
If you answered No, please continue answering questions.
Are you unsure if you have distinctive ring? Many phone companies offer a distinctive
ring feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on one phone line.
When you subscribe to this service, each phone number will have a different ring
pattern. For example, you can have single, double, and triple rings for the different
numbers. You might assign one phone number with a single ring to your voice calls,
and another phone number with double rings to your fax calls. This allows you to tell
the difference between voice and fax calls when the phone rings.
