							Setup 2: Printer is connected to a wall jack; cable modem is installed elsewhere in the house
Follow this setup if your cable provider activated the wall jacks in your house so that you do not have to plug your
devices into the cable modem. Your cable telephone service comes from the wall jacks.
Scenario 5: Country-specific setup
Different countries have different types of telephone wall jacks. The most common wall jack is the Registered Jack-11
(RJ-11), the standard adopted by most countries. You need to have an RJ-11 plug, or a telephone cable that has an
RJ-11 connector, so you can connect a device to an RJ-11 wall jack.
The fax ports on the back of the printer and the telephone cable that comes with the printer have RJ-11 connectors. If
you have a different type of connector in your country or region, then you may need to use an RJ-11 adapter.
Connecting the printer to a non-RJ-11 wall jack
To set up the printer for faxing, connect the printer to the RJ-11 adapter that comes with the printer, and then plug
the adapter into the wall jack. You can also connect an additional device (telephone or answering machine) to the same
telephone line. If the additional device does not have an RJ-11 connector, then connect it directly to the wall jack. Do
not remove the wrap plug from the 
 port of the printer.
Note: The printer may not come with an RJ-11 adapter in your country or region.
