no other equipment connected on this phone line, connect your HP PSC as 
described in this section.

Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP PSC, 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 PSC.
Caution!
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the 
telephone wall jack to your HP PSC, you might 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

how your hp psc will answer fax calls
When the phone rings, your HP PSC 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: faxing with a distinctive ring service on the same line
If you subscribe to a distinctive ringing service through your phone company that 
allows you to have multiple phone numbers on one phone line, each with a 
different ring pattern, connect your HP PSC as described in this section.
