What is a distinctive ring service?
Many phone companies offer a distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on
one phone line. When you subscribe to this service, each number is assigned a different ring pattern. You
can set up the printer to answer incoming calls that have a specific ring pattern.
If you connect the printer to a line with distinctive ring, have your telephone company assign one ring
pattern to voice calls and another ring pattern to fax calls. HP recommends that you request double or
triple rings for a fax number. When the printer detects the specified ring pattern, it answers the call and
receives the fax.
For information about setting up distinctive ring, see "Step 3: Configure fax settings" on page 12.
Connecting to a DSL/ADSL line
If you subscribe to a DSL/ADSL service, follow these steps to connect the fax.

Connecting additional equipment

Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the printer, and then connect a phone
to this port.
If you are connecting additional equipment, such as a dial-up computer modem or a telephone, you will
need to purchase a parallel splitter. A parallel splitter has one RJ- 1 1 port on the front and two RJ- 1 1
ports on the back. Do not use a 2–line phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which
has two RJ- 1 1 ports on the front and a plug on the back.
Note: If you subscribe to a DSL/ADSL service, connect the DSL/ADSL filter to the parallel splitter,
and then use the HP-provided telephone cord to connect the other end of the filter to the 1-Line port
on the printer. Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the printer, and
then connect a telephone set or telephone answering machine to the 2-EXT port. Next, connect the
second port of the parallel splitter to the DSL/ADSL modem which is connecting to the computer.
