C Additional fax setup
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 learn how to set up the printer 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 Setup Assistant (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 these tools through the HP software you installed with the printer.
After you run these tools, follow the procedures in this section to complete your fax setup.
This section contains the following topics:
•
Set up faxing (parallel phone systems)
• Serial-type fax setup
• Test fax setup
Set up faxing (parallel phone systems)
Before you begin setting up the printer 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 might 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 printer. 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 printer 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 printer.
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 might 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 printer.
NOTE: If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use the 2-wire
phone cord supplied with the printer to connect it to the telephone wall jack.
