Connect the printer
The printer is an analog device. HP recommends using the printer on a
dedicated analog telephone line.
NOTE: Some countries/regions might require an adapter for the
phone cord that came with the printer.
Connect the phone cord that came with the printer to the Fax port on
the printer and to the telephone jack on the wall.
How do I connect an answering machine or
extension phone?
1. Remove the plug from the phone port .
2. Disconnect the answering machine phone cord from the phone
jack, and then connect it to the phone port on the printer.
3. Connect the phone cord that came with the printer to the fax port
on the printer and to the telephone jack on the wall.
How do I set up HP printers in digital phone
environments?
HP printers are designed specifically for use with traditional analog phone
services. For a digital phone environment (such as DSL/ADSL, PBX, ISDN,
or FoIP), digital-to-analog filters or converters might be necessary when
setting up the printer for fax.
Note: Depending on the phone company, the printer might not be
compatible with all digital service lines or providers, in all digital
environments, or with all digital-to-analog converters. Contact the phone
company to determine which setup options are best.
Note: When setting up ring pattern detection in a PBX phone system
that has different ring patterns for internal and external calls, make sure
to dial the printer fax number using an external number for recording
the ring pattern.
