Set Up

[carol1112]

I am setting up my HP Envy 7640 to FAX.  There is an answering machine on the same line.  Instructions say to use a phone wire with 2 wire leads.  I needed a longer phone wire to connect my answer machine to the printer and the only ones I could find have 4 wire leads.  Can I use that to connect the answering machine to the printer?

Thanks for taking an interest in the HP Support Forums After reading your post I see that you want to know if you can setup the fax with four wire leads. I will be a delight to assist you here.

Superb analysis and brilliant diagnosis of the issue before posting. 🙂  Kudos to you on that score.:)

You can only use a cord with connectors that have two wire leads, not four.

Refer this HP Document for more assistance to setup Fax :- https://hp.care/2L6GKhc

Let me know if that helps.

Cheers.

Thank you so much for affirming what I needed to know.  I need a two wire connector to attach my answering machine to the HP printer.
