Tips for sending faxes
Before you send a fax:
Make sure that the printer is on and connected to a working telephone, DSL, or VoIP line. The line is working if
you hear a dial tone.
Load an original document faceup into the ADF or facedown on the scanner glass.
When using the ADF, adjust the paper guide on the ADF to the width of the original document.
When using the scanner glass, close the scanner lid to avoid dark edges on the scanned image.

What is a splitter and what type of splitter should I use?
If there are limited wall jacks in your home or limited ports on your adapter, then you can use a phone splitter. A
splitter splits the telephone signal and allows you to connect multiple devices to the wall jack. It has two or more
ports where you can plug the devices. Do not use a line splitter.
To make sure that you are using the correct splitter, plug an analog telephone into the splitter and then listen for a...

If the printer is on a dedicated fax line, then you may set the printer to pick up on any number of rings that you want.
How do I set the distinctive ring for the printer?
Setting the correct ring is important if you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature offered
by telephone companies. This feature allows you to have multiple telephone numbers on one telephone line. Each
telephone number has a designated ring pattern (a single ring, a double ring, a triple ring). The...

How do I adjust the speaker volume on the printer?
Listen to the dial tone to check if the telephone line is working and to check if the cables and devices are connected
properly in your telephone network. Make sure that the dialing volume is not set to Off, especially if you are dialing
a number on hook. If you set the printer to receive faxes manually, then make sure that you set the ringer volume
loud enough for you to hear it.
