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.

Use the scan feature

Windows
Use the HP Scan application shortcut on the Desktop, or open the HP Printer Assistant, select Scan, and then select Scan a Document or Photo.

macOS
Go to the Applications folder and open HP Easy Scan.
