Set up the fax
This getting started guide provides
instructions for setting up the fax.
For more information about fax features
available with your HP Officejet/
Officejet Pro device, see the electronic
user guide available on your computer
after you install the software.
NOTE:
Install the software to access the user guide.
Step 1: Identify the type of phone system you are using
(parallel or serial)
NOTE:
Before setting up the fax, connect the
HP Officejet/Officejet Pro device and install the
software.
Before you begin setting up the HP Officejet/Officejet
Pro device for faxing, determine whether your country/
region's phone system uses a parallel or serial system.
Parallel-type phone systems
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 Officejet/
Officejet Pro device.
NOTE:
If you have a parallel-type phone system,
see "Step 2: Determine the type of phone line
(dedicated or shared)" on page 4.
CAUTION:
If you do not use the supplied cord to
connect from the telephone wall jack to your
HP Officejet/Officejet Pro 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. If
the supplied phone cord is too short, see the "Solve fax
problems" on page 8.
NOTE:
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
following sections, you probably have a serial-type
phone system. If you are unsure which kind of telephone
system you have (serial or parallel), check with your
telephone company.
