The HP LaserJet MFP Analog Fax Accessory 300 enables the HP multifunction product (MFP) to
function as a standalone analog fax machine.
This guide describes the fax functions of this product in the following sections:
Parts included with the fax accessory
●
Installing the fax accessory
●
Verifying fax operation
●
Required fax settings
●
In addition, this guide provides information on product specifications and regulatory information.
NOTE: In addition to the analog fax feature, the MFP also supports LAN faxing. LAN faxing is managed
by the HP MFP Digital Sending Software Configuration Utility which is a separate product and is not
covered in this document. For information about LAN faxing, see the HP MFP Digital Sending SoftwareUser Guide or the HP MFP Digital Sending Software Support Guide. If both the analog fax accessory
and the LAN fax are installed, only one fax can be enabled at a time.
You should save this guide so that you can refer back to instructions on specific fax features.
NOTE: If the MFP did not come with the fax accessory installed, you need to install it as described in
this chapter.
NOTE: If the MFP came with the fax accessory installed, you need to remove the fax connection cover,
connect the phone cord, and then perform the initial fax configuration that is also described in this
chapter. The fax connection cover is located on the phone connector on the formatter rear panel.

This procedure provides information on how to install or replace the fax card in the HP LaserJet
9040/9050mfp.
NOTE: If you purchased the MFP with the fax accessory installed, you do not need to perform this
hardware installation; however, you will need to connect the phone cord as described in steps 10 and
11 of this procedure and you will also need to make the required configuration settings. See
fax settings on page 36.
Required
The fax accessory card is installed on the MFP formatter board which must be removed to install the
fax card. To install or to replace an existing fax card, complete the following steps.
NOTE: The Fax Accessory is also supported on the M3035xs MFP and the M3027x MFP, and it is
factory installed. This also applies to the Color LaserJet 9500mfp.
1.Unpack the fax card from the box. Do not remove the fax card from its antistatic pouch.
2.Set the MFP's power switch to off and disconnect the AC power cord.
3.Locate the formatter board. The formatter board is attached to a sheet-metal plate (1) located on
the left side of the MFP towards the back.
Figure 1-2 HP LaserJet 9040/9050mfp formatter location
ENWWInstalling the fax accessory3
4.Disconnect all the cables (2) from the formatter (1). Remember where the cables are removed from
to ensure that you reinstall them in the same locations.
NOTE: If this is the first time the fax is installed, remove the small cover over the opening for the
phone jack on the rear panel of the formatter before inserting the fax card into the formatter.
The formatter board contains parts that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). When
handling the formatter board, use static protection, such as a grounding wrist strap connected to
the metal frame of the MFP or hold the metal frame with your hand. Also, avoid touching the
components on the board.
5.Loosen two captive thumb-screws (3) at the top and bottom of the formatter plate, and pull the
formatter plate and board (1) out of the MFP. Set the formatter board on a flat, non-conductive
surface.
Figure 1-3 HP LaserJet 9040/9050mfp formatter removal
The fax card contains parts that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). When removing the
fax card from its antistatic pouch and while installing it, use static protection such as a grounding
wrist strap connected a grounded metal component such as the metal frame of the MFP, or touch
the grounded metal frame with your hand. Also, avoid touching the components on the board.
NOTE: If you are replacing an existing fax card, remove the card that is to be replaced from the
formatter.
NOTE: While handling the fax card, do not press on the yellow component on the card because
this could damage it and result in a fax malfunction.
4Chapter 1 SetupENWW
6.Remove the fax accessory from its antistatic pouch.
7.Insert the fax card connector (1) into the formatter fax connector (2). The connector on the formatter
board is labeled "FAX ACCESSORY." When inserting the card into the connector, the ends of the
card should slide into the two board guides (3) and "snap" into place when it is fully seated in the
connector.
Verify that the accessory is securely seated. The phone connector on the fax card should be aligned
with the opening in the back of the formatter cage.

Install the formatter back into the MFP.
Figure 1-5 Reinstalling the formatter into the HP LaserJet 9040/9050mfp
8.Reconnect any cables (4) removed from the formatter in step 4.
NOTE: When connecting the fax card to a phone line, ensure that the phone line being used is
a dedicated, single-channel analog line that is not used by any other devices. This line should be
an analog line because the fax will not function correctly if connected to some digital PBX systems.
If you are unsure of what type of line you have, contact your telecom provider. Also, HP
recommends using the phone cord that comes with the fax accessory to ensure the accessory
functions correctly.
ENWWInstalling the fax accessory5
NOTE: The phone wall jack is electrified and you might receive an electric shock if you touch the
wall jack. When installing the phone cable, do not touch the wall phone jack or, if you connect the
phone cable into the wall phone jack first, do not touch the wires on the phone cable connector at
other end.
9.Connect the phone cord connector (1) into the FAX connector (2) on the formatter plate. Push the
connector in until it "clicks".
NOTE: The LAN connector and the phone cord connector are similar. Ensure that you connect
the LAN cable plug (3) into the LAN connector and the phone cord connector (1) into the FAX
connector (2). Note that the LAN connector is wider than the phone connector.
Figure 1-6 Making cabling connections to the formatter for the HP LaserJet 9040/9050mfp
10. Connect the other end of the phone cord into the phone jack on the wall. Push the connector until
you hear a click or until the connector is securely seated. Because there are different types of
connectors, depending on the country/region, the connector might make an audible click when
connected or might not make an audible click.
11. Plug in the MFP AC power cord and set the power switch to on.
This completes the installation of the fax card. Next, you need to verify that the fax has been installed
correctly and is operating. See
Verifying fax operation on page 35.
Installing/replacing the fax accessory in the HP LaserJet 4345mfp
This procedure provides information on how to install the fax card in the HP LaserJet 4345mfp.

1.Unpack the fax card from the box, but do not remove it from its antistatic pouch.
2.Set the MFP's power switch to off and disconnect the AC power cord.
3.Locate the formatter board (1) on the back of the printer.
4.To access the formatter board, locate the removable cover (2) on the side of the MFP.
6Chapter 1 SetupENWW
5.Remove the side cover by placing your fingers in the cover's indented area (2) and pulling, to slide
it back and remove it from the printer.
NOTE: You do not need to remove any cables from the formatter for this procedure.
