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 

Remove the white plug from the port labeled “2-EXT” on the back of your 
HP PSC, and then connect a phone to this port.

You must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls, or your 
HP PSC cannot receive faxes. For information on how to receive fax calls

If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, use a 
PC modem on the same phone line, and also subscribe to a voicemail service 
through your phone company, connect your HP PSC as described in this section.

The HP PSC cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a 

voicemail service, therefore, you must be available to respond in person to 
incoming fax calls manually. If you want to receive faxes automatically 
instead, contact your phone company to subscribe to a distinctive ringing 
service, or to obtain a separate phone line for faxing.
