Network connection
When installing the MFP on a network, connect the network cable to the embedded HP Jetdirect
print server before installing the MFP software.
For complete information about installing the MFP on a network, see the network installation guide
that was included with the MFP.
Fax connection
The HP LaserJet M4345x MFP, HP LaserJet M4345xs MFP, and HP LaserJet M4345xm MFP
models come with an HP LaserJet analog fax accessory 300 already installed. For the HP LaserJet
M4345 MFP (base model), you can order this accessory as an option. Microsoft
®
Windows
®
users
can also install the optional HP Digital Sending Software (HP DSS), which provides digital faxing
services, and the Send Fax driver, which allows you to use a computer to send a fax through the MFP.
For complete instructions for configuring the fax accessory and for using the fax features, see the
HP LaserJet Analog Fax Accessory 300 User Guide. This guide is included on the software CD that
comes with the MFP.
Analog faxing
When the HP LaserJet analog fax accessory 300 is installed, the MFP can function as a standalone
fax machine.
Connecting the fax accessory to a phone line
When connecting the fax accessory to a phone line, ensure that the phone line being used for the fax
accessory is a dedicated line that is not used by any other devices. Also, this line should be an
analog line because the fax will not function correctly if it is connected to some digital PBX systems.
If you are not sure whether you have an analog or digital phone line, contact your telecom provider.
