							Case B: Set up the device with DSL
If you have a DSL service through your telephone company, and do not connect any
equipment to the device, use the instructions in this section to connect a DSL filter
between the telephone wall jack and the device. The DSL filter removes the digital
signal that can interfere with the device, so the device 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 device.

To set up the device with DSL
1.Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.
2.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the device, connect one end to the
open port on the DSL filter, and then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-
LINE on the back of the device.
NOTE:If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the DSL filter to
the device, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord
is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office.
As only one phone cord is supplied, you may will need to obtain additional
phone cords for this setup.
3.Connect an additional phone cord from the DSL filter to the telephone wall jack.
4.Run a fax test.

							Case C: Set up the device with a PBX phone system or an ISDN line
If you are using either a PBX phone system or an ISDN converter/terminal adapter,
make sure you do the following:
• If you are using either a PBX or an ISDN converter/terminal adaptor, connect the
device to the port that is designated for fax and phone use. Also, make sure that
the terminal adapter is set to the correct switch type for your country/region, if
possible.
NOTE:Some ISDN systems allow you to configure the ports for specific
phone equipment. For example, you might have assigned one port for
telephone and Group 3 fax and another port for multiple purposes. If you have
problems when connected to the fax/phone port of your ISDN converter, try
using the port designated for multiple purposes; it might be labeled multi-
combi or something similar.
• If you are using a PBX phone system, set the call waiting tone to off.
NOTE:Many digital PBX systems include a call-waiting tone that is set to on
by default. The call waiting tone will interfere with any fax transmission, and
you will not be able to send or receive faxes with the device. Refer to the
documentation that came with your PBX phone system for instructions on how
to turn off the call-waiting tone.
• If you are using a PBX phone system, dial the number for an outside line before
dialing the fax number.
• Make sure you use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to
the device. If you do not, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special
phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home
or office. If the supplied phone cord is too short, you can purchase a coupler from
your local electronics store and extend it.
Case D: Fax with a distinctive ring service on the same line
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service (through your telephone company) that
allows you to have multiple phone numbers on one phone line, each with a different
ring pattern, set up the device as described in this section.

							1Telephone wall jack
2Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the device to connect to
the 1-LINE port
To set up the device with a distinctive ring service
1.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the device, connect one end to your
telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the
back of the device.
NOTE:If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall
jack to the device, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special
phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your
home or office.
2.Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
3.Change the Distinctive Ring setting to match the pattern that the telephone
company assigned to your fax number.
NOTE:By default, the device is set to answer all ring patterns. If you do not
set the Distinctive Ring to match the ring pattern assigned to your fax
number, the device might answer both voice calls and fax calls or it might not
answer at all.
4.(Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).
5.Run a fax test.
The device automatically answers incoming calls that have the ring pattern you
selected (Distinctive Ring setting) after the number of rings you selected (Rings to
Answer setting). The device begins emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax
machine and receives the fax.
Case E: Shared voice/fax line
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you have
no other office equipment (or voice mail) on this phone line, set up the device as
described in this section.

3Telephone (optional)
To set up the device with a shared voice/fax line
1.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the device, connect one end to your
telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the
back of the device.
NOTE:If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall
jack to the device, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special
phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your
home or office.
2.Do one of the following:
• If you have a parallel-type phone system, remove the white plug from the port
labeled 2-EXT on the back of the device, and then connect a phone to this port.
• If you have a serial-type phone system, you might plug your phone directly on
top of the device cable which has a wall plug attached to it.
3.Now you need to decide how you want the device to answer calls, automatically or
manually:
• If you set up the device to answer calls automatically, it answers all incoming
calls and receives faxes. The device will not be able to distinguish between fax
and voice calls in this case; if you suspect the call is a voice call, you will need
to answer it before the device answers the call. To set up the device to answer
calls automatically, turn on the Auto Answer setting.
• If you set up the device to answer faxes manually, you must be available to
respond in person to incoming fax calls or the device cannot receive faxes. To
set up the device to answer calls manually, turn off the Auto Answer setting.
4.Run a fax test.
If you pick up the phone before the device answers the call and hear fax tones from a
sending fax machine, you will need to answer the fax call manually.
Case F: Shared voice/fax line with voice mail
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also
subscribe to a voice mail service through your telephone company, set up the device
as described in this section.
NOTE:You cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a voice mail service at
the same phone number you use for fax calls. You must receive faxes manually;
this means you must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls. If you
want to receive faxes automatically instead, contact your telephone company to
subscribe to a distinctive ring service, or to obtain a separate phone line for faxing.

3.Run a fax test.
You must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls, or the device cannot
receive faxes. You must initiate the manual fax before voicemail picks up the line.
Case G: Fax line shared with computer modem (no voice calls received)
If you have a fax line on which you receive no voice calls, and you also have a
computer modem connected on this line, set up the device as described in this section.
NOTE:If you have a computer dial-up modem, your computer dial-up modem
shares the phone line with the device. You will not be able to use both your modem
and the device simultaneously. For example, you cannot use the device for faxing
while you are using your computer dial-up modem to send an e-mail or access the
Internet.

If you use your phone line for both fax and telephone calls, use these instructions to
set up your fax.
There are two different ways to set up the device with your computer based on the
number of phone ports on your computer. Before you begin, check your computer to
see if it has one or two phone ports.
• If your computer has only one phone port, you will need to purchase a parallel
splitter (also called a coupler), as shown below. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11
port on the front and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a two-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.)
