If your computer has two phone ports, set up the HP Photosmart as described below.
Back view of the HP Photosmart
1 Telephone wall jack
2 "IN" phone port on your computer
3 "OUT" phone port on your computer
4 Telephone (optional)
5 Answering machine
6 Computer with modem
7 Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP Photosmart to connect to the "1-LINE" port
To set up the HP Photosmart on the same phone line as a computer with two phone ports
1.
Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the HP Photosmart.
2.
Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your computer dial-up modem) to a telephone
wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled 2-EXT on the back
of the HP Photosmart.
3.
Unplug your answering machine from the telephone wall jack, and connect it to the “OUT” port on the back of
your computer modem.
This allows a direct connection between the HP Photosmart and your answering machine, even though the
computer modem is connected first in line.
NOTE:
If you do not connect your answering machine in this way, fax tones from a sending fax machine
might be recorded on your answering machine, and you might not be able to receive faxes with the
HP Photosmart.
4.
Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP Photosmart, connect one end to your telephone wall jack,
then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the HP Photosmart.
NOTE:
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the HP Photosmart,
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.
5.
(Optional) If your answering machine does not have a built-in phone, for convenience you might want to connect
a phone to the back of your answering machine at the "OUT" port.
NOTE:
If your answering machine does not let you connect an external phone, you can purchase and use
a parallel splitter (also known as a coupler) to connect both the answering machine and telephone to the
HP Photosmart. You can use standard phone cords for these connections.
