Checking the phone line and computer
Before you begin connecting the hardware, make sure that you meet
the requirements for the phone line. If you are installing software, also
ensure that your computer or network meets the requirements.
Checking phone line requirements
You can connect the HP LaserJet 3150 product to a phone line only
for fax calls (a dedicated line) or a phone line for both voice calls and
fax calls (a shared line). In most cases, you can choose either one.
However, the HP LaserJet 3150 product cannot work with digital
telephone lines (only with analog) and might not be able to work on a
shared line with telephone system features such as the automatic
answering systems often used in large companies, voice mail, call
waiting, and some other advanced features provided by your local
telephone company.
●
Important! If you are trying to connect the product to a line for
both fax and voice calls (a shared line) and have the types of
telephone system features mentioned above, HP recommends
getting a second phone line dedicated to fax calls.
●
Caution! If you live in an area that is subject to frequent electrical
storms or for other reasons experiences numerous blackouts, it is
strongly recommended that you purchase and use a telephone
line surge protector. Electrical surges and power interruptions can
damage the HP LaserJet 3150 product.
Check your work
Have you decided to get a telephone line surge protector or second
phone line?
❏ No. If you are going to install the software, go to “Checking
computer or network requirements” on page 12. Otherwise, go to
“Installing hardware” on page 15.
❏ Yes. If you need a second phone line, contact your local phone
company. If you need a telephone line surge protector, you can
obtain one from your local computer or electronics retailer.
Once you resolve these issues, go to “Checking computer or
network requirements” on page 12 if you are installing software.
Otherwise, go to “Installing hardware” on page 15.
EN
Checking the phone line and computer
11
Checking computer or network requirements
If you are installing software, your computer or network needs to meet
the following minimum requirements.
Connecting directly to a computer using a parallel cable
If you are connecting the product directly to a computer using a
parallel cable, your computer:
●
must be an IBM computer (or 100% compatible) with a 486 33
MHz processor or better (Pentium® 90 MHz processor or better
for Microsoft® Windows NT 4.0 or 2000).
●
must be running Windows 3.1x, 9x, NT 4.0, or 2000.
●
must have 16 megabytes (MB) or more of random access
memory (RAM) for Windows 3.1x or 9x; 32 MB or more of RAM
for Windows NT 4.0 or 2000.
●
must have 65 MB or more of free hard-disk space.
●
should have a dedicated, IEEE-1284 bidirectional or ECPcompliant parallel port to which the HP LaserJet 3150 product
can be connected directly. If you have a device such as an
external disk drive or switch box connected to the computer’s
parallel port, you might have to unhook the device to connect and
use the HP LaserJet 3150 product, or use two parallel ports on
the computer.
Connecting to a network using an HP JetDirect print server
The computers that will be using the product software need to meet
the following requirements:
12
●
must be an IBM computer (or 100% compatible) with a 486 33
MHz processor or better (Pentium 90 MHz processor or better for
Windows NT 4.0 or 2000).

must be running Windows 9x, NT 4.0, or 2000.
●
must have 16 megabytes or more of RAM for Windows 9x; 32 MB
or more of RAM for Windows NT 4.0 or 2000.
●
must have 65 MB or more of free hard-disk space.
EN
For the network, you need the following:
●
You must have an installed network using the TCP/IP or IPX/SPX
network protocol. Circle the one you have. If you do not know, ask
the person who installed your network. (If you are using the IPX/
SPX network protocol, you must configure the HP JetDirect print
server using Direct mode, not Queue Server mode. Also, Novell
servers are not supported.)
●
You need a cable for your type of network connection (not
included). This cable is used to connect the print server to a
network jack. If you do not know what type you need, ask the
person who installed your network.
●
You need a supported HP JetDirect print server (not included).
Which one you use depends on the type of network connection
you have and how many devices you need to connect to the print
server.
• HP JetDirect 170X (J3258B — J3258A is not supported).
You can use this model if you have a 10Base-T network
connection and only need to connect the product to this print
server.
• HP JetDirect 300X (J3263) with a firmware revision of
H.08.00 or higher*. Use this model if you have a 10Base-T or
10/100Base-TX network connection and only need to connect
the product to this print server.
• HP JetDirect 500X (J3265) with a firmware revision of
J.08.00 or higher*. Use this model if you have a BNC,
10Base-T, or 10/100Base-TX network connection and need to
connect the product and up to two other devices to this print
server.
• HP JetDirect 500X (J3264) with a firmware revision of
J.08.00 or higher*. Use this model if you have a Token Ring
network connection. You can connect the product and up to
two other devices to this print server.
Circle the one you have or you are buying.
* You can check the firmware revision number by printing a
configuration page for the print server. Instructions for printing the
configuration page and checking and upgrading firmware appear
later in the setup process in the "Option B: Connecting to a
network” section.

Check your work
Does your computer or network meet the requirements?
❏ Yes. You are ready to begin. Go to “Installing hardware” on page
15.
❏ No. Either you will not be able to install the software, or it might not
work correctly. Do one of the following:
• Install the software on a computer that meets the
requirements. Use the software and product with that
computer.
• Use the HP LaserJet 3150 product without installing the
software. The product will still work as a fax machine and
convenience copier.
• Upgrade your computer, network, or HP JetDirect print server
to meet the requirements. If you need a new print server, see
page 13 for a list of supported HP JetDirect print servers.
Once you resolve these issues, go to “Installing hardware” on

HP recommends using HP LaserJet
toner cartridges, such as the one
included in the box. HP has designed its
HP LaserJet 3150 product and toner
cartridges to work together to give you
optimal image quality and reliability.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage, do not expose the
toner cartridge to light for more than a
few minutes.
To install the toner cartridge
1
Use the two printer door release
latches to pull open the printer door.
2
Shake the toner cartridge several
times from side to side (about two
times per second) to distribute the
toner evenly.
3
Grasp the end of the clear sealing
tape on the side of the cartridge
and pull firmly to remove the entire
length of the tape (about twice as
long as the cartridge).
4
Hold the cartridge by the handle (so
that the arrows are facing the
HP LaserJet 3150 product) and
slide the cartridge into the black
grooves in the product. Rotate the
cartridge firmly into place and close
the printer door.

Note
If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off
with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold
water. Hot water and heat from the dryer
set toner into fabric.

Check your work
Did you remove the tape strip, and did the printer door latch securely?
❏ Yes. Go to “Attaching supports” on page 20.
❏ No. Do the following:
• Make sure to remove the tape strip.
• Open and close the printer door again. If it still does not latch,
the toner cartridge may not be completely seated. Remove the
toner cartridge and reinsert it.
Reycling toner cartridges
To reduce landfill waste, HP has adopted a recycling program for
toner cartridges. When you replace an empty HP LaserJet toner
cartridge, follow the instructions in the box of the new toner cartridge
to recycle the empty one. You can return the empty toner cartridge
free of charge using a postage-paid shipping label found inside the
new toner cartridge box.
Since 1990, the HP LaserJet Toner Cartridge Recycling Program has
collected more than 25 million used HP LaserJet cartridges that
otherwise may have been discarded in the world’s landfills.

Connecting other devices to the phone line
In this section, you will decide what (if any) other devices to connect
to the same phone line as the HP LaserJet 3150 product and then
connect those devices.
Deciding what else to connect
In the previous step, you connected the HP LaserJet 3150 product to
a wall socket for the phone line. Generally, there are only three other
devices you might want or need to connect to the same phone line:
●
a telephone
●
an answering machine
●
an external modem or a computer with an internal modem.
Which, if any, of these you connect to this phone line depends on your
situation, which should be one of the following two situations.
,I\RXKDYHDFRPSXWHUPRGHP
If you have an internal computer modem or an external modem
please note that the HP LaserJet 3150 product cannot be used
as a data modem to communicate with other computers, to
send and receive e-mail, or to connect to the Internet. You must
keep the computer modem connected to a phone line for these
purposes.
EN
Connecting other devices to the phone line
25
Situation 1: You connected the HP LaserJet 3150
product to a wall socket with a phone line for fax calls
only (a dedicated fax line).
You do not need to connect any other devices. However:
●
You can connect your external modem or computer with internal
modem to this same phone line if you want to use the fax line to
access the Internet or e-mail.
●
You can connect an extra telephone to this wall socket if you
would like to make outgoing voice calls on this phone line.
To connect these devices to the same wall socket as the HP LaserJet
3150 product, go to “Connecting other devices, overview” on page 27.
If you have another wall socket for this phone line, you can connect
the extra phone and/or external modem or computer with internal
modem to the other socket.
Note
Because this is a dedicated fax line, you should never have an
answering machine or computer voicemail connected to it.
If you are using computer voicemail, you must connect the computer
with internal modem or the external modem to your dedicated voice
line. You will connect to the Internet or e-mail using the dedicated voice
line.
Situation 2: You connected the HP LaserJet 3150
product to a wall socket with a phone line for fax and
voice calls (a shared line).
Connect any other devices you have to this phone line. To connect the
other devices you have to the same wall socket as the product, go to
“Connecting other devices, overview” on page 27.
If you have another wall socket for this phone line, you can connect
some of the devices to that socket. However, if you have an answering
machine or computer with voicemail, make sure to connect it to the
same socket as the HP LaserJet 3150 product.
Special situation (only for Australia)
You have one phone line with two phone numbers and distinctive
ring service.
Use the same guidelines in Situation 2 above for connecting other
devices. You will change settings for distinctive ring later in the setup.

c. Setting answer mode and rings to answer
The answer mode is set to Automatic or Manual depending on your
situation. In Automatic mode, the HP LaserJet 3150 product answers
incoming calls after the number of rings to answer specified. Or, it
“listens” for fax tones when an answering machine connected to the
line answers first and then answers if it is a fax call. In Manual mode,
the HP LaserJet 3150 product never answers calls. You must start the
fax receiving process yourself, either by pressing START on the
control panel or by picking up a phone connected to that line (and
possibly pressing ***).
If the HP LaserJet 3150 product is set to Automatic mode, you may
need to adjust the rings-to-answer setting. This is especially
important if the HP LaserJet 3150 product is connected to a line
receiving both fax and voice calls (a shared line) with an answering
machine. The rings to answer on the HP LaserJet 3150 product must
be higher than the rings to answer on the answering machine. This
allows the answering machine to answer the incoming call and record
a message if it is a voice call. This also allows the HP LaserJet 3150
product to listen to the call, and if it detects fax tones, to take the call.
For the HP LaserJet 3150 product, the factory default answer mode is
Automatic. The default number of rings to answer is 1 in Malaysia and
Singapore and 5 in all other countries. Use the table below to
determine what settings to use given your situation.

d. Enabling distinctive ring detection
This procedure only applies to Australia. If you subscribe to distinctive
ring service with your telephone company, use this procedure to
enable the HP LaserJet 3150 product to detect distinctive ring
patterns. If you do not have distinctive ring service, do not change this
setting, or the HP LaserJet 3150 product will not be able to receive
faxes.
What is distinctive ring service?
Distinctive ring service is available from some local telephone
companies. It allows you to have two or three phone numbers on one
line. This costs less than paying for two or three separate lines. Each
of the phone numbers will have a different ring pattern. In Australia,
calls to the voice number ring with a double-ring pattern, and calls to
the fax number ring with a triple-ring pattern.These distinctive ring
patterns allow you to answer the call if it is a voice call and allow the
product to answer if it is a fax call.
How do I get it?
If you would like distinctive ring service, call your local telephone
company to check availability and to subscribe. The service is called
“FaxStream” in Australia. As of this printing, the service is only
available in some areas.
If distinctive ring is available and you choose to subscribe to it, keep
the following points in mind:
52
●
Make sure the telephone company assigns the triple-ring pattern
to the fax number. The HP LaserJet 3150 product ignores the
others.
●
While distinctive ring service may allow you to have up to three
phone numbers on the same line, the HP LaserJet 3150 product
only supports two numbers. The HP LaserJet 3150 product
cannot detect the difference between the second and third ring
patterns and would answer calls coming to both the second and
third numbers.

Scanning to text using OCR
When you are scanning an item and choose Scan on the Document
Assistant or in the JetSuite Pro software and then select Scan to
Text, the JetSuite Pro software initiates the scan using the best
settings for text. Then, the OCR software discards any graphics on
the scanned item and converts the text to editable text. When the
OCR software has finished, the converted text appears as an untitled
file in your word-processing program.
Because OCR conversions are never perfect, proof the converted text
carefully.

For more information about scanning and the OCR software, see
the “Scanning” chapter in the user guide, and see the Help.
For more information about scanning to e-mail, see the “E-mailing

machine and copier when you turn off the computer or the
software is not working. Even if you normally receive faxes to
your computer and you turn it off, faxes are received into the

on again.
