The all-in-one has been tested with the supplied cord, and the cord was proven to meet product specifications. • Make sure that the phone cord is installed in the correct port on the all-in-one. It should be plugged into the (line-in) port. See Connecting the all-in-one to a phone line for more information. • Make sure that the phone cord is seated in the port on the back of the all-in-one. Gently pull on the cord to make sure that it is well seated in the correct port. • Make sure that the telephone jack is working correctly. Attach a phone to the jack on the wall and verify that a dial tone exists and that you can make a phone call. • If you use third-party software to send faxes from a Macintosh computer, make sure that the fax queue settings are correct for your operating system and connection type. For Macintosh computers connected directly to a computer with a USB cable using CommApp, use the Officejet 9100 series Fax fax queue for Mac OS 9. For Mac OS 10, use the Officejet 9100 series (Fax) fax queue. Parallel or "T" splitters should not be used with the all-in-one, as they can degrade the quality of the phone signal. If you need to attach a second device to the phone line along with the all-in-one, plug the second device into the (phone) port on the back of the all-in-one. See Connecting an additional telephone device for more information. ENWW Solving fax problems 175
