HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 - Manual (Page 98)

NOTE: Phones in other parts of the home/office sharing the same phone number with DSL/ADSL
service need to be connected to additional DSL/ADSL filters, to avoid noise when making voice calls.
2. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, connect one end to the DSL/ADSL filter, then
connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer.
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/ADSL filter to the printer, 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/ADSL filter to the splitter.
4. Unplug the answering machine from the telephone wall jack, and connect it to the port labeled 2-EXT on
the back of the printer.
NOTE: If you do not connect your answering machine directly to the printer, fax tones from a sending
fax machine might be recorded on your answering machine, and you might not receive faxes with the
printer.
5. Connect the DSL modem to the parallel splitter.
6. Connect the parallel splitter to the wall jack.
7. Set your answering machine to answer after a low number of rings.
8. Change your Rings to Answer setting on the printer to the maximum number of rings supported by the
printer.
NOTE: The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.
9. Run a fax test.
When the phone rings, your answering machine answers after the number of rings you have set, and then
play your recorded greeting. The printer monitors the call during this time, “listening” for fax tones. If
incoming fax tones are detected, the printer emits fax reception tones and receive the fax; if there are no fax
tones, the printer stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message.
If you use the same phone line for telephone, fax, and have a computer DSL modem, follow these instructions
to set up your fax.
If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service provider
or vendor for further assistance.
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 printer 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 printer, you cannot use both your modem
and the printer simultaneously. For example, you cannot use the printer for faxing if you are using your
computer dial-up modem to send an email or access the Internet.
