1 Remove the white plug from the port labeled “2-EXT” on the back of your
HP Officejet.
2 Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your PC
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 your
HP Officejet.
3 Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP Officejet, 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 Officejet.
Caution! If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the
telephone wall jack to your HP Officejet, you probably will 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 146.
4 Press the Answer Mode button on the front panel until Fax appears on the

PC modem software, your HP Officejet will not be able to receive
faxes.
