Choose the right fax setup for your home or office
To fax successfully, you need to know what types of equipment and services (if any)
share the same phone line with your HP all-in-one. This is important because you might
need to connect some of your existing office equipment directly to your HP all-in-one,
and you might also need to change some fax settings before you can fax successfully.
To determine the best way to set up the HP all-in-one in your home or office, first read
through the questions in this section and record your answers. Next, refer to the table in
the following section and choose the recommended setup case based on your
answers.
Make sure to read and answer the following questions in the order they are presented.
1 Do you have a digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your telephone
company?
❑
Yes, I have DSL.
❑
No.
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case B: Set up your HP all-in-one with
DSL. You do not need to continue answering questions.
If you answered No, please continue answering questions.
2 Do you have a private branch exchange (PBX) phone system or an integrated
services digital network (ISDN) system?
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case C: Set up your HP all-in-one with a
PBX phone system or an ISDN line. You do not need to continue answering
questions.
If you answered No, please continue answering questions.
3 Do you subscribe to a distinctive ring service through your telephone company that
provides multiple phone numbers with different ring patterns?
❑
Yes, I have distinctive ring.
❑
No.
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case D: Fax with a distinctive ring service
on the same line. You do not need to continue answering questions.
If you answered No, please continue answering questions.
Are you unsure if you have distinctive ring? Many phone companies offer a
distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on one
phone line.
When you subscribe to this service, each phone number will have a different ring
pattern. For example, you can have single, double, and triple rings for the different
numbers. You might assign one phone number with a single ring to your voice
calls, and another phone number with double rings to your fax calls. This allows
you to tell the difference between voice and fax calls when the phone rings.
