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

wall jack to the HP All-in-One, you might not be able to fax successfully.
This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might
already have in your home or office.

company assigned to your fax number.

Note

By default, the HP All-in-One is set to answer all ring patterns. If

you do not set the

Distinctive Ring

to match the ring pattern assigned to

your fax number, the HP All-in-One might answer both voice calls and fax
calls or it might not answer at all.

Run a fax test.

The HP All-in-One will automatically answer incoming calls that have the ring pattern
you selected (

machine and receive the fax.
