Partial Excerpt (NOTE: Document includes the illustrations that go with the text)

Prepare the printer for faxing over a phone landline connection

Connect your HP printer to a landline, and then set up fax preferences.Get a telephone cord. Make sure it is a cord with two wire leads, not four.

Connect the phone cord to the wall jack and to the 1-LINE jack on the back of the printer.

If you have an answering machine, connect a phone cord to the machine and to the 2-EXT jack on the back of the printer to allow your answering machine to record voice calls without fax noises.
