background image

Go to “Step 3: Manage and configure fax settings”

on page 6.

NOTE:

Your HP Officejet/Officejet Pro device is factory-

set to answer all ring patterns. If you do not set the

correct ring pattern assigned to your fax number by

the telephone company, your HP Officejet/Officejet Pro

device might answer both voice calls and fax calls,

or it might not answer at all.

Shared phone line

If the fax is going to share the phone line with other

devices, such as a phone, answering machine,

computer/computer modem, or caller ID box, or if you

have voicemail service included with your line, you must

follow these instructions to determine how to set up your

fax.

1.

Follow steps 1-3 in the “Dedicated phone line” on

page 6.

2.

Plug the additional device into the 2-EXT port on the

back of the HP Officejet/Officejet Pro device.

3.

Set up the HP Officejet/Officejet Pro device to

work with the device you have attached. For more

information, see the electronic user guide available

on the computer after installing the software.

Step 3: Manage and configure fax settings

After you have connected the HP Officejet/Officejet Pro

device to a phone line, set the fax header, date and

time settings, and country/region settings.

If you are connecting the HP Officejet/Officejet Pro

device directly to a computer, install the HP Officejet/

Officejet Pro device software, and then run the Fax

Setup Wizard (Windows) or HP Fax Setup Utility

(Mac OS X). You can also launch these tools from

Solution Center (Windows) or HP Device Manager

(Mac OS X) at a later time.

You can also configure these settings from the control

panel. For information on the control panel, see the

electronic user guide available on your computer after

installing the software.

If your HP Officejet/Officejet Pro device is connected to

a network, you can also configure the fax settings from

the embedded Web server (EWS). For information on

the EWS, see the electronic user guide available on

your computer after installing the software.
