							Case A: Separate fax line (no voice calls received)
If you have a separate phone line on which you receive no voice calls, and you have no
other equipment connected on this phone line, set up the HP All-in-One as described in
this section.

To set up the HP All-in-One with a separate fax line
1.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP All-in-One, connect one end to
your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on
the back of the HP All-in-One.
NOTE:If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall
jack to the HP All-in-One, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special
phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home
or office.
2.Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
3.(Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).
4.Run a fax test.
When the phone rings, the HP All-in-One will answer automatically after the number of
rings you set in the Rings to Answer setting. Then it will begin emitting fax reception
tones to the sending fax machine and receive the fax.
Case B: Set up the HP All-in-One with DSL
If you have a DSL service through your telephone company, use the instructions in this
section to connect a DSL filter between the telephone wall jack and the HP All-in-One.
The DSL filter removes the digital signal that can interfere with the HP All-in-One, so the
HP All-in-One can communicate properly with the phone line. (DSL might be called ADSL
in your country/region.)
NOTE:If you have a DSL line and you do not connect the DSL filter, you will not be
able to send and receive faxes with the HP All-in-One.

							Case C: Set up the HP All-in-One with a PBX phone system or an ISDN line
If you are using either a PBX phone system or an ISDN converter/terminal adapter, make
sure you do the following:
•If you are using either a PBX or an ISDN converter/terminal adaptor, connect the
HP All-in-One to the port that is designated for fax and phone use. Also, make sure
that the terminal adapter is set to the correct switch type for your country/region, if
possible.
NOTE:Some ISDN systems allow you to configure the ports for specific phone
equipment. For example, you might have assigned one port for telephone and
Group 3 fax and another port for multiple purposes. If you have problems when
connected to the fax/phone port of your ISDN converter, try using the port
designated for multiple purposes; it might be labeled multi-combi or something
similar.
•If you are using a PBX phone system, set the call waiting tone to off.
NOTE:Many digital PBX systems include a call-waiting tone that is set to on
by default. The call waiting tone will interfere with any fax transmission, and you
will not be able to send or receive faxes with the HP All-in-One. Refer to the
documentation that came with your PBX phone system for instructions on how to
turn off the call-waiting tone.
•If you are using a PBX phone system, dial the number for an outside line before dialing
the fax number.
•Make sure you use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the
HP All-in-One. If you do not, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special
phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or
office. If the supplied phone cord is too short, you can purchase a coupler from your
local electronics store and extend it.

							Case D: Fax with a distinctive ring service on the same line
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service (through your telephone company) that allows
you to have multiple phone numbers on one phone line, each with a different ring pattern,
set up the HP All-in-One as described in this section.

your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on
the back of the HP All-in-One.
NOTE:If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall
jack to the HP All-in-One, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special
phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home
or office.
2.Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
3.Change the Distinctive Ring setting to match the pattern that the telephone company
assigned to your fax number.
NOTE:By default, the HP All-in-One is set to answer all ring patterns. If you do
not set the Distinctive Ring to match the ring pattern assigned to your fax
number, the HP All-in-One might answer both voice calls and fax calls or it might
not answer at all.
4.(Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).
5.Run a fax test.
The HP All-in-One will automatically answer incoming calls that have the ring pattern you
selected (Distinctive Ring setting) 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.

jack to the HP All-in-One, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special
phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home
or office.
2.Now you need to decide how you want the HP All-in-One to answer calls,
automatically or manually:
• If you set up the HP All-in-One to answer calls automatically, it answers all
incoming calls and receives faxes. The HP All-in-One will not be able to
distinguish between fax and voice calls in this case; if you suspect the call is a
voice call, you will need to answer it before the HP All-in-One answers the call.
To set up the HP All-in-One to answer calls automatically, turn on the Auto
Answer setting.
• If you set up the HP All-in-One to answer faxes manually, you must be available
to respond in person to incoming fax calls or the HP All-in-One cannot receive
faxes. To set up the HP All-in-One to answer calls manually, turn off the Auto
Answer setting.

Answer setting. For more information, see 
Set the answer mode.
4.Run a fax test.
5.Plug your phone into the telephone wall jack.
6.Do one of the following, depending on your phone system:
• If you have a parallel-type phone system, remove the white plug from the port
labeled 2-EXT on the back of the HP All-in-One, and then connect a phone to this
port.
• If you have a serial-type phone system, you might plug your phone directly on top
of the HP All-in-One cable which has a wall plug attached to it.
If you pick up the phone before the HP All-in-One answers the call and hear fax tones
from a sending fax machine, you will need to answer the fax call manually.
Case F: Shared voice/fax line with voice mail
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also
subscribe to a voice mail service through your telephone company, set up the HP All-in-
One as described in this section.
NOTE:You cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a voice mail service at
the same phone number you use for fax calls. You must receive faxes manually; this
means you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls. If you want
to receive faxes automatically instead, contact your telephone company to subscribe
to a distinctive ring service, or to obtain a separate phone line for faxing.

the number of phone ports on your computer. Before you begin, check your computer to
see if it has one or two phone ports.
•If your computer has only one phone port, you will need to purchase a parallel splitter
(also called a coupler), as shown below. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the
front and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a 2-line phone splitter, a serial
splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on the front and a plug on the
back.)
