Set up faxing for the device
After completing all the steps in the getting started guide, use the instructions in this
section to complete your fax setup. Keep your getting started guide for later use.
In this section, you will learn how to set up the device so that faxing works successfully
with equipment and services you might already have on the same phone line.
TIP: You can also use the Fax Setup Wizard (Windows) or HP Fax Setup Utility
(Mac OS) to help you quickly set up some important fax settings such as the
answer mode and fax header information. You can access the Fax Setup Wizard
(Windows) or HP Fax Setup Utility (Mac OS) through the software you installed
with the device. After you run the Fax Setup Wizard (Windows) or HP Fax Setup
Utility (Mac OS), follow the procedures in this section to complete your fax setup.

Set up faxing (parallel phone systems)
Before you begin setting up the device for faxing, determine which kind of phone
system your country/region uses. The instructions for fax setup differ depending on
whether you have a serial- or parallel-type phone system.
• If you do not see your country/region listed in the table below, you probably have a
serial-type phone system. In a serial-type phone system, the connector type on
your shared telephone equipment (modems, phones, and answering machines)
does not allow a physical connection to the "2-EXT" port on the device. Instead, all
equipment must be connected at the telephone wall jack.
NOTE: In some countries/regions that use serial-type phone systems, the
phone cord that came with the device might have an additional wall plug
attached to it. This enables you to connect other telecom devices to the wall
jack where you plug in the device.
• If your country/region is listed in the table below, you probably have a parallel-type
telephone system. In a parallel-type phone system, you are able to connect shared
telephone equipment to the phone line by using the "2-EXT" port on the back of
the device.
NOTE: If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use
the 2-wire phone cord supplied with the device to connect it to the telephone
wall jack.
