							3To continue using a computer for Internet access, connect the computer to the DSL HPN port on the DSL filter.
4To connect a telephone to the printer, remove the protective plug from the  port of the printer and then
connect the telephone to the port.
Scenario 3: VoIP telephone service
To connect:
1Connect one end of a telephone cable to the  port of the printer.
2Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port  on the VoIP adapter.
The port labeled Phone Line 2 or Fax Port is not always active. You may need to pay extra to your VoIP provider
if you want to activate the second phone port.
3Remove the protective plug from the  port of the printer, and then connect the telephone to the port.
Tips for this setup:
To make sure that the phone port on the VoIP adapter is active, plug an analog telephone into the phone port,
and then listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, then the port is active.
If you need two phone ports for your devices but do not want to pay extra, then do not plug the printer into the
second phone port. You can use a phone splitter. Plug the phone splitter into the Phone Line 1 or Phone Port,
and then plug the printer and telephone into the splitter.
Make sure you use a phone splitter, not 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 dial tone.

							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.
To connect:
1
Connect the cable from the wall jack to the  port of the printer.
2Remove the protective plug from the  port of the printer, and then connect the telephone to the port.
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.
