described in this section.

Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP Fax, connect one
end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port
labeled “1-LINE” on the back of your HP Fax.

Caution!

If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the

telephone wall jack to your HP Fax, you probably will not be able
to fax successfully. This special 2-wire cord is different from the
more common 4-wire phone cords you might already have in your
office. For more information about how to tell the difference
between the cords, see
