Connecting Additional Equipment - HP OFFICEJET 4500 Guide De Mise En Marche Rapide

Connecting additional equipment

Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the printer, and then
connect a phone to this port.
If you are connecting additional equipment, such as a dial-up computer
modem or a telephone, you will need to purchase a parallel splitter. A
parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and two RJ-11 ports on the
back. Do not use a 2–line phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel
splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on the front and a plug on the back.
Note: If you subscribe to a DSL/ADSL service, connect to the DSL/ADSL filter to
the parallel splitter, and then use the HP-provided telephone cord to connect the
other end of the filter to the 1-Line port on the printer. Remove the white plug from
the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the printer, and then connect a telephone
set or telephone answering machine to the 2-EXT port. Next, connect the second
port of the parallel splitter to the DSL/ADSL modem which is connecting to
the computer.

how to fix the problem and rerun the test.
