2 Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer to connect to the 1-LINE port.
You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/region.
To set up the printer with a separate fax line
1.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.
2.Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
3.(Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).
4.Run a fax test.
When the phone rings, the printer answers automatically 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.
Case B: Set up the printer with DSL
If you have a DSL service through your telephone company, and do not connect any equipment to the printer,
use the instructions in this section to connect a DSL filter between the telephone wall jack and the printer. The
DSL filter removes the digital signal that can interfere with the printer, so the printer can communicate correctly
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 cannot send and receive faxes with
the printer.

							To set up the printer with DSL
1.Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.
2.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, 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 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 the phone cords you might already have in
your home or office.
As only one phone cord is supplied, you might 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.
If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service provider or
vendor for further assistance.
Case C: Set up the printer 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 printer 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 interferes with any fax transmission, and you cannot send or receive faxes with the printer.
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 printer. 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.
You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/region.
If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service provider or
vendor for further assistance.

2 Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer to connect to the 1-LINE port.
You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/region.
To set up the printer with a distinctive ring service
1.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.
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 printer 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 printer might answer both voice calls and fax
calls or it might not answer at all.
TIP:You can also use the Ring Pattern Detection feature in the printer’s control panel to set distinctive
ring. With this feature, the printer recognizes and records the ring pattern of an incoming call and, based
on this call, automatically determines the distinctive ring pattern assigned by your telephone company to
fax calls. For more information, see Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring.
4.(Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).
5.Run a fax test.
The printer 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 printer begins emitting fax
reception tones to the sending fax machine and receives the fax.

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 printer, 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 printer cable
which has a wall plug attached to it.
3.Now you need to decide how you want the printer to answer calls, automatically or manually:
• If you set up the printer to answer calls automatically, it answers all incoming calls and receives
faxes. The printer cannot distinguish between fax and voice calls in this case; if you suspect the call is
a voice call, you need to answer it before the printer answers the call. To set up the printer to answer
calls automatically, turn on the Auto Answer setting.
• If you set up the printer to answer faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to
incoming fax calls or the printer cannot receive faxes. To set up the printer to answer calls manually,
turn off the Auto Answer setting.
4.Run a fax test.
If you pick up the phone before the printer answers the call and hear fax tones from a sending fax machine, you
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 printer 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.

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 printer 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
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.
