How do I set up HP printers in digital phone environments?
HP printers are designed specifically for use with traditional analog phone services. For a digital phone environment (such as DSL/ADSL, PBX, ISDN, or FoIP), digital-to-analog filters
or converters might be necessary when setting up the printer for fax.
NOTE: Depending on the phone company, 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 the phone company to determine which setup options are best.
NOTE: When setting up ring pattern detection in a PBX phone system that has different ring patterns for internal and external calls, make sure to dial the printer fax number using
an external number for recording the ring pattern.
