HP 3100 - Manual (Page 17)

Set up faxing (parallel phone systems)
Before you begin setting up the HP Fax for faxing, determine which kind of phone system
your country/region uses. The instructions for fax setup differ depending on whether you
have a serial- or 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 Fax. 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 Fax 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 Fax.
• 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 Fax.
NOTE: If you have a parallel-type phone system, HP recommends you use the
2-wire phone cord supplied with the HP Fax to connect it to the telephone wall
jack.

your telephone company.
