How do I set up HP printers in digital phone environments?
HP printers are designed specifically for use with traditional analog phone services. If you are in a digital phone
environment (such as DSL/ADSL, PBX, ISDN, or FoIP), you might need to use digital-to-analog filters or converters
when setting up the printer for faxing.
The printer might not be compatible with all digital service lines or providers in all digital environments or with
all digital-to-analog converters. Contact your phone company to determine which setup options are best for you.
If you are setting up ring pattern detection in a PBX phone system that has different ring patterns for internal
and external calls, make sure you dial the fax number of your printer using an external number when recording
the ring pattern.
