Connect fax to a telephone line
The product is an analog device. HP recommends using the product on a dedicated analog telephone line.
Connect additional devices
The product includes two fax ports:

, which connects the product to the wall telephone jack. The “telephone�? port 
, which connects additional devices to the product.
Telephones used in conjunction with the product can be employed in two ways:
Connect additional devices in the order that is described in the following steps. The output port for each device is connected to the input port of the next, forming a "chain". If you do not want to connect a specific device, skip the step that explains it and continue to the next device.
|
NOTE:
|
Do not connect more than three devices to the telephone line. |
|
NOTE:
|
Voicemail is not supported with this product. |
Unplug the power cords for all of the devices that you want to connect.
If the product is not yet connected to a telephone line, see the product installation guide before proceeding. The product should already be connected to a telephone jack.
Remove the plastic insert from the "telephone" port (the port that is marked with the telephone icon).
