What is a distinctive ring service?
Many phone companies offer a distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on
one phone line. When you subscribe to this service, each number is assigned a different ring pattern. You
can set up the printer to answer incoming calls that have a specic ring pattern.
If you connect the printer to a line with distinctive ring, have your telephone company assign one ring
pattern to voice calls and another ring pattern to fax calls. HP recommends that you request double or
triple rings for a fax number. When the printer detects the specied ring pattern, it answers the call and
receives the fax.
For information about setting up distinctive ring, see “Step 3: Congure fax settings” on page 12.
Connecting to a DSL/ADSL line
If you subscribe to a DSL/ADSL service, follow these steps to connect the fax.
1. Connect the DSL/ADSL lter and telephone cord provided by your
DSL/ADSL service provider between the telephone wall jack and the
DSL/ADSL lter.
2. Connect the telephone cord provided with the printer between the
DSL/ADSL lter and the 1-Line port on the printer.
1 Telephone wall jack
2 DSL/ADSL lter and telephone cord (provided by your DSL/ADSL service provider)
3 Telephone cord provided in the box with the printer, connected to the 1-LINE port on
the printer
Connecting additional equipment
Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the printer, and then connect a phone
to this port.
If you are connecting additional equipment, such as a dial-up computer modem or a telephone, you will
need to purchase a parallel splitter. A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and two RJ-11
ports on the back. Do not use a 2–line phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which
has two RJ-11 ports on the front and a plug on the back.
English
Note: If you subscribe to a DSL/ADSL service, connect the DSL/ADSL lter to the parallel splitter,
and then use the HP-provided telephone cord to connect the other end of the lter to the 1-Line port
on the printer. Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the printer, and
then connect a telephone set or telephone answering machine to the 2-EXT port. Next, connect the
second port of the parallel splitter to the DSL/ADSL modem which is connecting to the computer.

Fax and digital phone services
Many telephone companies provide their customers
with digital phone services, such as the following:
• DSL: A Digital subscriber line (DSL) service
through your telephone company. (DSL might be
called ADSL in your country/region.)
• PBX: A private branch exchange (PBX) phone
system
• ISDN: An integrated services digital network
(ISDN) system.
• FoIP: A low-cost phone service that allows you to
send and receive faxes with your printer by
using the Internet. This method is called Fax over
Internet Protocol (FoIP). For more information,
see the user guide.
HP printers are designed specically for use with
traditional analog phone services. If you are in a
digital phone environment (such as DSL/ADSL, PBX,
or ISDN), you might need to use digital-to-analog
lters or converters when setting up the printer for
faxing.
Note: HP does not guarantee that the printer
will be compatible with all digital service lines
or providers, in all digital environments, or with
all digital-to-analog converters. Contact your
telephone company to determine which setup
options are available for their line services.

• Make sure you use the phone cord or adapter
that came with the printer. (If you do not use this
phone cord or adapter, the display might always
show Phone Off Hook.)
• Make sure extension phones (phones on the
same phone line, but not connected to the
printer) or other equipment is not in use or off the
hook. For example, you cannot use the printer
for faxing if an extension phone is off the hook
or if you are using a computer dial-up modem to
send email or access the Internet.
• If you are using a phone splitter, the splitter
could cause faxing problems. Try connecting the
printer directly to the telephone wall jack.
• Make sure that one end of the phone cord is
connected to the telephone wall jack, while the
other end is connected to the port labeled
“1-LINE” on the back of the printer.
• Try connecting a working phone directly to the
telephone wall jack and check for a dial tone. If
you do not hear a dial tone, contact your
telephone company to check the line.
up for digital phones. Connect the printer to an
analog phone line and try sending or receiving
a fax.
• Check the sound quality of the phone line by
plugging a phone into the telephone wall jack
and listening for static or other noise. Phone
lines with poor sound quality (noise) can cause
faxing problems. If you hear noise, turn Error
Correction Mode (ECM) off and try faxing
again.
• If you are using a DSL/ADSL service, make sure
that you have a DSL/ADSL lter connected.
Without the lter, you cannot fax successfully.
• If you are using either a PBX or an ISDN
converter/terminal adapter, make sure the
printer is connected to the correct port and the
terminal adapter is set to the correct switch type
for your country/region.
• If you are using a Fax over IP service, try to use a
slower connection speed. If this does not work,
contact your Fax over IP service’s support
department.
• Make sure you connect the printer to an analog
phone line, or you cannot send or receive faxes.
To check if your phone line is digital, connect a
regular analog phone to the line and listen for a
dial tone. If it does not sound like a normalsounding dial tone, it might be a phone line set
The printer can send faxes but cannot receive faxes
• If you are not using a distinctive ring service,
check to make sure that the Distinctive Ring
feature on the printer is set to All Rings.
• If Auto Answer is set to Off, or if you subscribe to
a voicemail service on the same phone line that
you will use for faxing, you can only receive
faxes manually.
• If you have a computer dial-up modem on the
same phone line with the printer, check to make
sure that the software that came with your
modem is not set to receive faxes automatically.
• If you have an answering machine on the same
phone line with the printer:
- Check that the answering machine is working
properly.
- Make sure the printer is set to receive faxes
automatically.
- Make sure the Rings to Answer setting is set to
a greater number of rings than the answering
machine.
- Disconnect the answering machine and then
try receiving a fax.
- Record a message that is approximately 10
seconds in duration. Speak slowly and at a low
volume when recording your message. Leave
at least 5 seconds of silence at the end of the
voice message.
• Other equipment using the same phone line
might be causing the fax test to fail. You can
disconnect all the other devices and run the test
again. If the Dial Tone Detection Test passes,
then one or more of the other equipment is
causing problems. Try adding them back one at
a time and rerunning the test each time until you
identify which piece of equipment is causing the
problem.

• The printer might be dialing too fast or too soon.
You might need to insert some pauses in the
number sequence. For example, if you need to
access an outside line before dialing the phone
number, insert a pause following the access
number. If your number is 95555555, and 9
