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.

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 

Change the Answer Ring Pattern setting to the pattern that has been 
assigned by the phone company to your fax number, for example, double 
rings or triple rings. 
For information on how to change this setting, see 

Your HP PSC is factory-set to answer all ring patterns. If you do not 

set the correct ring pattern assigned by the phone company to your fax 
number, your HP PSC might answer both voice calls and fax calls or it 
might not answer at all.

(Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to 1 ring or 2 rings. 
For information on how to change this setting, see 

Your HP PSC will automatically answer incoming calls that have the ring pattern 
you selected (Answer Ring Pattern setting) and after the number of rings you 
selected (Rings to Answer setting). Then it will begin emitting fax reception tones 
to the sending fax machine and receive the fax.
