Analog fax

When the analog fax accessory is installed, the product can function as a standalone fax machine.

The HP Color LaserJet CM3530fs MFP model comes with a fax accessory already installed. For the
HP Color LaserJet CM3530 MFP (base model), you can order this accessory as an option. See

Part

numbers on page 245

for information about ordering the analog fax accessory. Specifications for the

Analog Fax Accessory are available in the HP LaserJet MFP Analog Fax Accessory 500 Fax Guide. An
electronic version of this guide is located on the User CD that comes with the product or 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 MFP Analog Fax Accessory 500 Fax Guide.

Use the Send Fax driver to send a fax from a computer without going to the product control panel. The
Send Fax driver is available on the product Administrator CD and from

www.hp.com

. See the

HP LaserJet MFP Analog Fax Accessory 500 Send Fax Driver Guide for more information.
