HP Officejet 6500 - Manual (Page 121)

NOTE: 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.
To set up the device with a computer DSL/ADSL modem
1. Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.
2. Using the phone cord provided in the box with the device, connect one end to the
DSL filter, and then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of
the device.
NOTE: You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter
provided for your country/region.
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the DSL filter to the back of
the device, 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 to the parallel splitter.
4. Connect the DSL modem to the parallel splitter.
5. Connect the parallel splitter to the wall jack.
6. Run a fax test.
When the phone rings, the device automatically answers after the number of rings you
set in the Rings to Answer setting. The device begins emitting fax reception tones to the
sending fax machine and receives the fax.
If you encounter problems setting up the device with optional equipment, contact your
local service provider or vendor for further assistance.
Case H: Shared voice/fax line with computer modem
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also have
a computer modem connected on this phone line, set up the device as described in this
section.
NOTE: Since your computer modem shares the phone line with the device, you
cannot use both your modem and the device simultaneously. For example, you cannot
use the device for faxing while you are using your computer modem to send an e-mail
or access the Internet.
