Connecting telephone cords
This section provides various installation options for connecting the
HP LaserJet 3100 product to the telephone line.
Before you begin
The HP LaserJet 3100 product is not supported with telephone
system features provided by your local telephone company such as
the automatic answering systems often used in large companies,
voice mail, call waiting, and some other advanced features. If you are
connecting the HP LaserJet 3100 product to a line receiving both fax
and voice calls (a shared line) and have these types of features, HP
recommends getting a second telephone line dedicated to fax calls.
CAUTION If you live in an area that is subject to frequent electrical storms or for
other reasons experiences numerous blackouts, it is strongly
recommended that you purchase and use a telephone line surge
protector. Electrical surges and power interruptions can damage the
HP LaserJet 3100 product.
If you have a modem
If you have an internal computer modem or an external modem
please note these important points:
● The HP LaserJet 3100 product cannot be used as a data modem
to communicate with other computers, to send and receive
e-mail, or to connect to the Internet. You must continue to use the
computer’s modem for these purposes.
● It is important that the HP LaserJet 3100 product be directly
connected to the wall jack to prevent the computer’s modem from
interfering with the HP LaserJet 3100 product’s fax
communications.
