English
Connecting additional equipment
Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the printer, and
then connect a phone to this port.
If you are connecting additional equipment, such as a dial-up computer
modem or a telephone, you will need to purchase a parallel splitter. 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.
Note: If you subscribe to a DSL/ADSL service, connect to the DSL/ADSL lter to the
parallel splitter, and then use the HP-provided telephone cord to connect the other
end of the lter to the 1-Line port on the printer. Remove the white plug from the port
labeled 2-EXT on the back of the printer, and then connect a telephone set or telephone
answering machine to the 2-EXT port. Next, connect the second port of the parallel
splitter to the DSL/ADSL modem which is connecting to the computer.

Step 2: Test fax setup
Test your fax setup to check the status of the
printer and make sure it is set up properly
for faxing.
The fax test does the following:
• Tests the fax hardware
• Veries the correct type of phone cord is
connected to the printer
• Checks that the phone cord is plugged
into the correct port
• Checks for a dial tone
• Checks for an active phone line
• Tests the status of your phone line
connection
1. From the printer control panel, touch
and then touch Setup.
2. Touch Tools, and then touch Run Fax
Test. The printer displays the status of the
test on the display and prints a report.
After the test is nished, the printer prints a
report with the results of the test. If the test
fails, review the report for information on
how to x the problem and rerun the test.
For additional troubleshooting
information, see ”Problems setting up the
printer” on page 22.

go to ”Step 3: Congure fax settings”
