Analog fax
When the analog fax accessory is installed, the product can function as a standalone fax machine.
The HP Color LaserJet CM6049f comes with a fax accessory already installed. Specifications for the
Analog Fax Accessory are available in the HP LaserJet Analog Fax Accessory 300 User Guide. The
Analog Fax Accessory 300 Fax Guide and the Analog Fax Accessory 300 Send Fax Driver Guide are
also located at
Connect the fax accessory to a phone line
When connecting the fax accessory to a phone line, ensure that the phone line being used for the fax
accessory is a dedicated line that is not used by any other devices. Also, this line should be an analog
line because the fax will not function correctly if it is connected to some digital PBX systems. If you are
not sure whether you have an analog or digital phone line, contact your telecom provider.
NOTE:
HP recommends using the phone cord that comes with the fax accessory to ensure that the
accessory functions correctly.
Follow these instructions to connect the fax accessory to a phone jack.
1.
Locate the phone cord that is included with the fax accessory kit. Connect one end of the phone
cord into the fax accessory phone jack that is on the formatter. Push the connector until it clicks.
CAUTION:
Be sure to connect the phone line to the fax accessory port, which is located in the
center of the formatter. Do not connect the phone line to the HP Jetdirect port, which is nearer the
bottom of the formatter.
2.
Connect the other end of the phone cord into the phone jack on the wall. Push the connector until
it clicks or until it is securely seated. Because different types of connectors are used in different
countries/regions, the connector might not make an audible click.
Configure and use the fax features
Before you can use the fax features, you must configure them in the control-panel menus. For complete
information about configuring and using the fax accessory, and for information about troubleshooting
problems with the fax accessory, see the HP LaserJet Analog Fax Accessory 300 User Guide. This
guide is provided with the fax accessory.
Use the Send Fax driver to send a fax from a computer without going to the product control panel. See
the HP LaserJet MFP Analog Fax Accessory 300 Send Fax Driver Guide for more information.
