							To set up the printer with a computer DSL/ADSL modem
1.Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.
NOTE:Phones in other parts of the home/office sharing the same phone number with DSL service
need to be connected to additional DSL filters to avoid noise when making voice calls.
2.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printers, connect one end to the DSL filter, then connect
the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer.
NOTE:You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/
region.
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the DSL filter to the printer, you might not be able to
fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from phone cords you might already have in your
home or office.
3.If you have a parallel-type phone system, remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of
the printer, and then connect a phone to this port.
4.Connect the DSL filter to the parallel splitter.
5.Connect the DSL modem to the parallel splitter.
6.Connect the parallel splitter to the wall jack.
7.Run a fax test.
When the phone rings, the printer automatically answers after the number of rings you set in the Rings to
Answer setting. The printer begins emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine and receives the fax.
If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service provider or
vendor for further assistance.
Case I: Shared voice/fax line with answering machine
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also have an answering machine
that answers voice calls at this phone number, set up the printer as described in this section.

							To set up the printer with a shared voice/fax line with answering machine
1.Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the printer.
2.Unplug your answering machine from the telephone wall jack, and connect it to the port labeled 2-EXT on
the back of the printer.
NOTE:If you do not connect your answering machine directly to the printer, fax tones from a sending
fax machine might be recorded on your answering machine, and you might not receive faxes with the
printer.
3.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then
connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer.
NOTE:You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/
region.
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the printer, 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.
4.(Optional) If your answering machine does not have a built-in phone, for convenience you might want to
connect a phone to the back of your answering machine at the OUT port.
NOTE:If your answering machine does not let you connect an external phone, you can purchase and
use a parallel splitter (also known as a coupler) to connect both the answering machine and telephone
to the printer. You can use standard phone cords for these connections.
5.Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
6.Set your answering machine to answer after a low number of rings.
7.Change the Rings to Answer setting on the printer to the maximum number of rings supported by your
printer. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.)
8.Run a fax test.
When the phone rings, your answering machine answers after the number of rings you have set, and then plays
your recorded greeting. The printer monitors the call during this time, listening for fax tones. If incoming fax
tones are detected, the printer emits fax reception tones and receives the fax; if there are no fax tones, the printer
stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message.
If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service provider or
vendor for further assistance.
Case J: Shared voice/fax line with computer modem and answering machine
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also have a computer modem
and answering machine connected on this phone line, set up the printer as described in this section.
NOTE:Since your computer dial-up modem shares the phone line with the printer, you cannot use both your
modem and the printer simultaneously. For example, you cannot use the printer for faxing while you are using
your computer dial-up modem to send an email or access the Internet.

There are two different ways to set up the printer 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.

a coupler), as shown in the illustration. (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.)

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.

							Test fax setup
You can test your fax setup to check the status of the printer and to make sure it is set up correctly for faxing.
Perform this test after you have completed setting up the printer for faxing. The test does the following:
•Tests the fax hardware
•Verifies the correct type of phone cord is connected to the printer
•Checks that the phone cord is plugged into the correct port
•Checks for a dial tone
•Checks for an active phone line
•Tests the status of your phone line connection
The printer prints a report with the results of the test. If the test fails, review the report for information on how to fix
the problem and rerun the test.
To test fax setup via the printer control panel
1.Set up the printer for faxing according to your particular home or office setup instructions.
2.Make sure the ink cartridges are installed, and that full-size paper is loaded in the input tray before starting
the test.
3.From the Home screen, touch Fax, and then touch Settings.
4.Touch Tools, and then touch Run Fax Test.
The printer displays the status of the test on the display and prints a report.
5.Review the report.
• If the test passes and you are still having problems faxing, check the fax settings listed in the report to
verify the settings are correct. A blank or incorrect fax setting can cause problems faxing.
• If the test fails, review the report for more information on how to fix any problems found.
