faxing with a PBX phone system or an ISDN line

If your telephone line has a PBX system, make sure you dial the number for an
outside line before dialing the fax number.

Caution!

Many digital PBX systems include a call-waiting tone that

is factory-set to “on.” This call-waiting tone will interfere with any
fax transmission, and you will not be able to send or receive faxes
with your HP Officejet. Refer to your digital PBX system’s
documentation for instructions on how to turn off the call-waiting
tone.

If you are using either a PBX or an ISDN converter, make sure the HP Officejet is
connected to the port that is designated for fax and phone use.

Some ISDN systems allow you to configure the ports for specific phone
equipment—for example, you might have assigned one for telephone and Group
3 fax and another for multiple purposes.

Note:

If you have problems when connected to the fax/phone port of your

ISDN converter, try using the port designated for multiple purposes (might
be labeled “multi-combi” or something similar).

If all of your telephone equipment (modems, phones, answering machines,
and faxes) connects directly to your telephone wall jack, you probably
have a serial-type telephone system. Check the table below to make sure
that your country/region does not appear in the list. If you are unsure
which kind of telephone system you have (parallel or serial), check with
your telephone company. If you have a serial system, you do not need to
read further. If you have Caller ID on the line where you will install your
HP Officejet, please refer to
