HP 2600/2700 - Manual (Page 99)

There are two different ways to set up your 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, see the next section, Set up your
HP all-in-one to a computer with one phone port . You will need to purchase a
parallel splitter (also called a coupler) in order to send and receive faxes
successfully and use your PC modem. (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.) You will also need three additional phone cords. You can purchase a
parallel splitter and additional phone cords from an electronics store.
● If your computer has two phone ports, see Set up your HP all-in-one to a computer
with two phone ports .
