Set up faxing (parallel phone systems)

Before you begin setting up the device 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 probably 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 device. 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 device 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 device.

If your country/region is listed in the table below, you probably 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
device.

NOTE:

If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use the

2-wire phone cord supplied with the device to connect it to the telephone wall jack.

If you are unsure which kind of telephone system you have (serial or parallel), check with
your telephone company.

Choose the correct fax setup for your home or office
To fax successfully, you need to know what types of equipment and services (if any) share
the same phone line with the device. This is important because you might need to connect
some of your existing office equipment directly to the device, and you might also need to
change some fax settings before you can fax successfully.
