1 Telephone wall jack

You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided
for your country/region.
3 Computer with modem
4 Telephone
1. Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the product.
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 product.
3. Connect a phone to the "OUT" port on the back of your computer dial-up modem.
4. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the product, connect one end to your telephone
wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the product.
NOTE: You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for
your country/region.
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the device,
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. If your modem software is set to receive faxes to your computer automatically, turn off that
setting.
NOTE: If you do not turn off the automatic fax reception setting in your modem software,
the HP product will not be able to receive faxes.
6. Now you need to decide how you want the product to answer calls, automatically or manually:
• If you set up the product to answer calls automatically, it answers all incoming calls and
receives faxes. The HP All-in-One will not be able to distinguish between fax and voice calls
in this case; if you suspect the call is a voice call, you will need to answer it before the product
answers the call. To set up the product to answer calls automatically, turn on the Auto
Answersetting.
• If you set up the product to answer faxes manually, you must be available to respond in
person to incoming fax calls or the product cannot receive faxes. To set up the product to
answer calls manually, turn off the Auto Answersetting.
7. Run a fax test.
If you pick up the phone before the device answers the call and hear fax tones from a sending fax
machine, you will need to answer the fax call manually.
If you use your phone line for voice, fax, and your computer dial-up modem, follow these directions
to set up your fax.
If you encounter problems setting up the device with optional equipment, contact your local service
provider or vendor for further assistance.
