Wireless without a router (ad hoc connection)
Use this section if you want to connect the HP Photosmart to a wireless-capable computer without using a wireless router or access point.
There are two methods you may use to connect the HP Photosmart to your computer using an ad hoc wireless network connection. Once connected, you can install the HP Photosmart software.
▲Turn on the wireless radio for the HP Photosmart and the wireless radio on your computer. On your computer, connect to the network name (SSID) hpsetup, which is the default ad hoc network created by the
HP Photosmart.
If the HP Photosmart was previously configured for a different network, use Restore Network Defaults to restore the default ad hoc profile of hpsetup.
OR
▲Use an ad hoc network profile on your computer to connect to the product. If your computer is not currently configured with an ad hoc network profile, consult the Help file for your computer Operating System for the proper method to create an ad hoc profile on your computer. Once the ad hoc network profile has been created, run the Wireless Setup Wizard from the Network menu on the HP Photosmart and select the ad hoc network profile you created on your computer.
NOTE: An ad hoc connection can be used if you do not have a wireless router or access point but do have a wireless radio on your computer. However, an ad hoc connection may result in a lower level of network security and possibly reduced performance when compared to an infrastructure network connection using a wireless router or access point.

Set up the HP Photosmart for faxing
Before you begin setting up the HP Photosmart for faxing, determine which kind of phone system your country/ region uses. The instructions for setting up the HP Photosmart for faxing differ depending on whether you have a serialor parallel-type phone system.
•If you do not see your country/region listed in the table below, you probably have a serial-type phone system. In a serial-type phone system, the connector type on your shared telephone equipment (modems, phones, and answering machines) does not allow a physical connection to the "2-EXT" port on the HP Photosmart. Instead, all equipment must be connected at the telephone wall jack.
NOTE: In some countries/regions that use serial-type phone systems, the phone cord that came with the HP Photosmart might have an additional wall plug attached to it. This enables you to connect other telecom devices to the wall jack where you plug in the HP Photosmart.
•If your country/region is listed in the table below, you probably have a parallel-type telephone system. In a parallel-type phone system, you are able to connect shared telephone equipment to the phone line by using the "2-EXT" port on the back of the HP Photosmart.
NOTE: If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use the 2-wire phone cord supplied with the HP Photosmart to connect the HP Photosmart to the telephone wall jack.

Choose the correct fax setup for your home or office
To fax successfully, you need to know what types of equipment and services (if any) share the same phone line with the HP Photosmart. This is important because you might need to connect some of your existing office equipment directly to the HP Photosmart, and you might also need to change some fax settings before you can fax successfully.
To determine the best way to set up the HP Photosmart in your home or office, first read through the questions in this section and record your answers. Next, refer to the table in the following section and choose the recommended setup case based on your answers.
12 Finish setting up the HP Photosmart
Make sure to read and answer the following questions in the order they are presented.
1.Do you have a digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your telephone company? (DSL might be called ADSL in your country/region.)
Yes, I have DSL.
No.
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case B: Set up the HP Photosmart with DSL. You do not need to continue answering questions.
If you answered No, please continue answering questions.
2.Do you have a private branch exchange (PBX) phone system or an integrated services digital network (ISDN) system?
If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case C: Set up the HP Photosmart with a PBX phone system or an ISDN line. You do not need to continue answering questions.
If you answered No, please continue answering questions.

Case A: Separate fax line (no voice calls received)
If you have a separate phone line on which you receive no voice calls, and you have no other equipment connected on this phone line, set up the HP Photosmart as described in this section.
Back view of the HP Photosmart
1Telephone wall jack
2Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP Photosmart to connect to the "1-LINE" port
To set up the HP Photosmart with a separate fax line
1.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP Photosmart, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the HP Photosmart.
NOTE: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the HP Photosmart, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office.
2.Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
3.(Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).
4.Run a fax test.
When the phone rings, the HP Photosmart will answer automatically after the number of rings you set in the Rings to Answer setting. Then it will begin emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine and receive the fax.
Case B: Set up the HP Photosmart with DSL
If you have a DSL service through your telephone company, use the instructions in this section to connect a DSL filter between the telephone wall jack and the HP Photosmart. The DSL filter removes the digital signal that can interfere with the HP Photosmart, so the HP Photosmart can communicate properly with the phone line. (DSL might be called ADSL in your country/region.)
NOTE: If you have a DSL line and you do not connect the DSL filter, you will not be able to send and receive faxes with the HP Photosmart.

To set up the HP Photosmart with DSL
1.Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.
2.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP Photosmart, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the HP Photosmart.
NOTE: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the HP Photosmart, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office.
3.Connect the DSL filter cord to the telephone wall jack.
NOTE: If you have other office equipment or services attached to this phone line, such as a distinctive ring service, answering machine, or voice mail, see the appropriate section in this section for additional setup guidelines.
4.Run a fax test.
Case C: Set up the HP Photosmart with a PBX phone system or an ISDN line
If you are using either a PBX phone system or an ISDN converter/terminal adapter, make sure you do the following:
•If you are using either a PBX or an ISDN converter/terminal adaptor, connect the HP Photosmart to the port that is designated for fax and phone use. Also, make sure that the terminal adapter is set to the correct switch type for your country/region, if possible.
NOTE: Some ISDN systems allow you to configure the ports for specific phone equipment. For example, you might have assigned one port for telephone and Group 3 fax and another port for multiple purposes. If you have problems when connected to the fax/phone port of your ISDN converter, try using the port designated for multiple purposes; it might be labeled "multi-combi" or something similar.
•If you are using a PBX phone system, set the call waiting tone to "off".
NOTE: Many digital PBX systems include a call-waiting tone that is set to "on" by default. The call waiting tone will interfere with any fax transmission, and you will not be able to send or receive faxes with the
HP Photosmart. Refer to the documentation that came with your PBX phone system for instructions on how to turn off the call-waiting tone.
•If you are using a PBX phone system, dial the number for an outside line before dialing the fax number.
•Make sure you use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the HP Photosmart. If you do not, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office. If the supplied phone cord is too short, you can purchase a coupler from your local electronics store and extend it.
16 Finish setting up the HP Photosmart
Case D: Fax with a distinctive ring service on the same line
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service (through your telephone company) that allows you to have multiple phone numbers on one phone line, each with a different ring pattern, set up the HP Photosmart as described in this section.
Back view of the HP Photosmart

2Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP Photosmart to connect to the "1-LINE" port
To set up the HP Photosmart with a distinctive ring service
1.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP Photosmart, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the HP Photosmart.
NOTE: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the HP Photosmart, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office.
2.Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
3.Change the Distinctive Ring setting to match the pattern that the telephone company assigned to your fax number.
NOTE: By default, the HP Photosmart is set to answer all ring patterns. If you do not set the Distinctive Ring to match the ring pattern assigned to your fax number, the HP Photosmart might answer both voice calls and fax calls or it might not answer at all.
4.(Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).
5.Run a fax test.
The HP Photosmart will automatically answer incoming calls that have the ring pattern you selected (Distinctive Ring setting) after the number of rings you selected (Rings to Answer setting). Then it will begin emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine and receive the fax.

To set up the HP Photosmart with a shared voice/fax line
1.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP Photosmart, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the HP Photosmart.
NOTE: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the HP Photosmart, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office.
2.Now you need to decide how you want the HP Photosmart to answer calls, automatically or manually:
•If you set up the HP Photosmart to answer calls automatically, it answers all incoming calls and receives faxes. The HP Photosmart will not be able to distinguish between fax and voice calls in this case; if you suspect the call is a voice call, you will need to answer it before the HP Photosmart answers the call. To set up the HP Photosmart to answer calls automatically, turn on the Auto Answer setting.
•If you set up the HP Photosmart to answer faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls or the HP Photosmart cannot receive faxes. To set up the HP Photosmart to answer calls manually, turn off the Auto Answer setting.
3.Run a fax test.
4.Plug your phone into the telephone wall jack.
5.Do one of the following, depending on your phone system:
•If you have a parallel-type phone system, remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the HP Photosmart, and then connect a phone to this port.
•If you have a serial-type phone system, you might plug your phone directly on top of the HP Photosmart cable which has a wall plug attached to it.
If you pick up the phone before the HP Photosmart answers the call and hear fax tones from a sending fax machine, you will need to answer the fax call manually.
Case F: Shared voice/fax line with voice mail
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also subscribe to a voice mail service through your telephone company, set up the HP Photosmart as described in this section.
18 Finish setting up the HP Photosmart
NOTE: You cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a voice mail service at the same phone number you use for fax calls. You must receive faxes manually; this means you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls. If you want to receive faxes automatically instead, contact your telephone company to subscribe to a distinctive ring service, or to obtain a separate phone line for faxing.

To set up the HP Photosmart on the same phone line as a computer with two phone ports
1.Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the HP Photosmart.
2.Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your computer dial-up modem) to a telephone wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the HP Photosmart.
3.Unplug your answering machine from the telephone wall jack, and connect it to the “OUT” port on the back of your computer modem.
This allows a direct connection between the HP Photosmart and your answering machine, even though the computer modem is connected first in line.
NOTE: If you do not connect your answering machine in this way, fax tones from a sending fax machine might be recorded on your answering machine, and you might not be able to receive faxes with the
HP Photosmart.
4.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP Photosmart, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the HP Photosmart.
NOTE: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the HP Photosmart, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office.
5.(Optional) If your answering machine does not have a built-in phone, for convenience you might want to connect a phone to the back of your answering machine at the "OUT" port.
NOTE: If your answering machine does not let you connect an external phone, you can purchase and use a parallel splitter (also known as a coupler) to connect both the answering machine and telephone to the HP Photosmart. You can use standard phone cords for these connections.
24 Finish setting up the HP Photosmart
6.If your modem software is set to receive faxes to your computer automatically, turn off that setting.
NOTE: If you do not turn off the automatic fax reception setting in your modem software, the HP Photosmart will not be able to receive faxes.
7.Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
8.Set your answering machine to answer after a low number of rings.
9.Change the Rings to Answer setting on the HP Photosmart to the maximum number of rings supported by your device. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.)
10.Run a fax test.
When the phone rings, your answering machine will answer after the number of rings you have set, and then play your recorded greeting. The HP Photosmart monitors the call during this time, "listening" for fax tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the HP Photosmart will emit fax reception tones and receive the fax; if there are no fax tones, the HP Photosmart stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message.
Case K: Shared voice/fax line with computer dial-up modem and voice mail
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, use a computer dial-up modem on the same phone line, and subscribe to a voice mail service through your telephone company, set up the HP Photosmart as described in this section.
NOTE: You cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a voice mail service at the same phone number you use for fax calls. You must receive faxes manually; this means you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls. If you want to receive faxes automatically instead, contact your telephone company to subscribe to a distinctive ring service, or to obtain a separate phone line for faxing.
Since your computer dial-up modem shares the phone line with the HP Photosmart, you will not be able to use both your modem and the HP Photosmart simultaneously. For example, you cannot use the HP Photosmart for faxing if you are using your computer dial-up modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.
There are two different ways to set up the HP Photosmart with your computer based on the number of phone ports on your computer. Before you begin, check your computer to see if it has one or two phone ports.
•If your computer has only one phone port, you will need to purchase a parallel splitter (also called a coupler), as shown below. (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.)

To set up the HP Photosmart on the same phone line as a computer with two phone ports 1. Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the HP Photosmart.
2. Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your computer dial-up modem) to a telephone wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the HP Photosmart.
3. Connect a phone to the "OUT" port on the back of your computer dial-up modem.
4. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP Photosmart, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the HP Photosmart.
NOTE: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the HP Photosmart, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office.
5. If your modem software is set to receive faxes to your computer automatically, turn off that setting.
NOTE: If you do not turn off the automatic fax reception setting in your modem software, the HP Photosmart will not be able to receive faxes.
6. Turn off the Auto Answer setting.
7. Run a fax test.
You must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls, or the HP Photosmart cannot receive faxes.
