Case B: Set up the HP All-in-One with DSL If you have a DSL service through your telephone company, use the instructions in this section to connect a DSL filter between the telephone wall jack and the HP All-in-One. The DSL filter removes the digital signal that can interfere with the HP All-in-One, so the HP All-in-One can communicate properly with the phone line. (DSL might be called ADSL in your country/region.) Note If you have a DSL line and you do not connect the DSL filter, you will not be able to send and receive faxes with the HP All-in-One.
