Thank you for purchasing the HP LaserJet 3200 product, a
powerful business tool with the capabilities of a full range of
office equipment: use the product to print, fax, copy, and scan.
Increase your productivity by doing more than one task at a time.
Use this guide to help you:
l check phone line and compu ter requirements
l check the contents of the box
l set up the product hardware
l connect the product to your phone line and to other devices,
such as answering machines and computers
l verify that you have successfully installed the product
Using the installation checklist
Several times during the installation process, you will be
prompted to
Check your work.
When you encounter a "check your work," see the installation
checklist inside the front cover of this guide. The checklist lists all
of the task checks to help you install the produ ct, step -b y-step,
and, for each check, you get directions to your next step.
EN 7
Setup requirements
Phone line requirements
Connect the HP LaserJet 3200 product to the phone line in one of two
ways:
l a dedicated line for fax calls
l a shared line for both fax calls and voice calls
In most cases, you can choose either one. However, th e product only
works with analog, rather than digital, telephone lines (analog is
common) and some phone-system features, such as call waiting and
voice mail, might interfere with the correct operation of the pro duct.
HP recommends that you get a second phone line dedicated to fax
calls if your phone system has call waiting or voice mail. Contact your
local phone company to add a second phone line.
CAUTION If you live in an area that is subject to frequent electrical storms or if
you experience frequent power outages, HP strongly recomme nds that
you purchase a telephone line surge protector, available at local
computer or electronics retailers. Electrical surges and power
interruptions can damage the product.
Check your work #1.
