Set up the HP Fax for faxing Before you begin setting up the HP Fax for faxing, determine which kind of phone system your country/region uses. The instructions for setting up the HP Fax for faxing differ depending on whether you have a serial- or parallel-type phone system. ● If you do not see your country/region listed in the table below, you probably have a serial-type phone system.
