Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the product. 2. Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your computer dial-up modem) to a telephone wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the product. 3. Unplug your answering machine from the telephone wall jack, and connect it to the "OUT" port on the back of your computer modem. This allows a direct connection between the HP Photosmart and your answering machine, even though the computer modem is connected first in line. NOTE: If you do not connect your answering machine in this way, fax tones from a sending fax machine might be recorded on your answering machine, and you might not be able to receive faxes with the product. 30 Fax setup
