fax setup
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 Fax. 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 Fax 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).
how to tell if the following instructions apply to you
The rest of the fax setup instructions in this chapter are intended for parallel-type
telephone systems, which are most common in the countries/regions listed in the
table below.
• 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 Fax, please refer to use caller ID on page 47 and block junk fax
numbers on page 47.
• If your country/region is listed, use the following instructions to complete
your fax setup.
