Set up faxing (parallel phone systems)
Before you begin setting up the printer 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, 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 printer. 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 printer 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 printer.
You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/
region.
●
If your country/region is listed in the table, 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 printer.
NOTE: If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use the 2-wire phone
cord supplied with the printer to connect it to the telephone wall jack.

If you are unsure which kind of telephone system you have (serial or parallel), check with your
telephone company.
