1 Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP PSC, connect one
end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port
labeled “1-LINE” on the back of your HP PSC.
Caution! If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the
telephone wall jack to your HP PSC, you might not be able to fax
successfully. This special 2-wire cord is different from the more
common 4-wire phone cords you might already have in your
office. For more information about how to tell the difference
between the cords, see
I have difficulties when sending faxes and
when receiving faxes on page 145.
2 Change the Answer Ring Pattern setting to the pattern that has been
assigned by the phone company to your fax number, for example, double
rings or triple rings.
For information on how to change this setting, see
change the answer ring
pattern (distinctive ringing) on page 68.
Note: Your HP PSC is factory-set to answer all ring patterns. If you do not
set the correct ring pattern assigned by the phone company to your fax
number, your HP PSC might answer both voice calls and fax calls or it
might not answer at all.
3 (Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to 1 ring or 2 rings.
For information on how to change this setting, see
set number of rings
before answering on page 59.
how your hp psc will answer fax calls
Your HP PSC will automatically answer incoming calls that have the ring pattern
you selected (Answer Ring Pattern setting) and after the number of rings you
selected (Rings to Answer setting). Then it will begin emitting fax reception tones
to the sending fax machine and receive the fax.
