2 "IN" phone port on your computer
3 "OUT" phone port on your computer

To set up your HP All-in-One to a computer with two phone ports
1.

Remove the white plug from the port labeled "2-EXT" on the back of your HP All-
in-One.

2.

Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your
computer modem) to a telephone wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the
telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled "2-EXT" on the back of your
HP All-in-One.

3.

Connect a phone to the "OUT" port on the back of your computer modem.

4.

Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP All-in-One, connect one
end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled "1-
LINE" on the back of your HP All-in-One.

Caution

If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the

telephone wall jack to your HP All-in-One, you might not be able to fax
successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords
you might already have in your home or office. If the supplied phone cord
is too short, see

The phone cord that came with my HP All-in-One is not

long enough

for information on extending it.

5.

If your computer modem software is set to receive faxes to your computer
automatically, turn off that setting.

Caution

If you do not turn off the auto fax receive setting in your

computer modem software, your HP All-in-One will not be able to receive
faxes.

6.

Now you need to decide how you want the HP All-in-One to answer calls,
automatically or manually:

If you set up the HP All-in-One to answer calls automatically, it answers all
incoming calls and receives faxes. Your HP All-in-One will not be able to
distinguish between fax and voice calls in this case; if you suspect the call is
a voice call, you will need to answer it before the HP All-in-One answers the
call.
To answer fax calls automatically, press the

Auto Answer

button until the

light is on.

If you set up the HP All-in-One to answer faxes manually, you must be
available to respond in person to incoming fax calls or your HP All-in-One
cannot receive faxes.
To answer fax calls manually, press the

Auto Answer

button until the light is

off.

7.
