Set up fax
1. Connect the phone line.
Note: HP printers are designed specifically for use with traditional analog phone services. If you are in a digital
phone environment (such as DSL/ADSL, PBX, ISDN, or FoIP), you might need to use digital-to-analog filters
or converters when setting up the printer for faxing. Contact your phone company to determine which setup
options are best for you.
If the phone line is only used for fax
a. Connect one end of the phone cord to the phone wall jack.
b. Connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer.
If you have subscribed to a DSL/ADSL service, connect a DSL/ADSL filter between the 1-LINE port and the phone
wall jack.
If additional devices are connected to the phone line
If you have other devices to connect, connect them as shown in the diagram below:
* TAM: Telephone answering machine
** FoIP: Fax over Internet Protocol
2. Test fax setup.
The fax test checks hardware, verifies phone cord type and connection status, and checks for a dial tone and an
active phone line. To run the test:
a. From the Home screen on the printer display, press the Up and Down buttons to select Fax, and then
press OK.
b. Select Settings, select Advanced Settings, select Fax Setup Wizard, and then follow on-screen instructions.
