Unplug your answering machine from the telephone wall jack, and connect it to the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the HP Fax.

Note If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the HP Fax, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office. 5. (Optional) If your answering machine does not have a built-in phone, for convenience you might want to connect a phone to the back of your answering machine at the "OUT" port. 28 HP Fax 1250 series
