To set up the HP All-in-One with a computer dial-up modem

1.

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

2.

Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your computer
dial-up 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 the HP All-in-One.

3.

Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the 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 the HP All-in-One.

NOTE:

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

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

If you do not turn off the automatic fax reception setting in your modem

software, the HP All-in-One will not be able to receive faxes.

(Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).

Run a fax test.

When the phone rings, the HP All-in-One will answer automatically after the number of
rings you set in the Rings to Answer setting. Then it will begin emitting fax reception
tones to the sending fax machine and receive the fax.
