							Scenario 2: Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
Follow this setup if you have a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL).
EXTLINE
A Digital Subscriber Line splits your regular telephone line into two channels: voice and Internet. Telephone and fax
signals travel through the voice channel, and Internet signals pass through the other channel. This way, you can use
the same line for analog voice calls (including faxing) and digital Internet access.
To minimize interference between the two channels and ensure a quality connection, you need to install a DSL filter
for the analog devices (fax machine, telephone, answering machine) in your network. Interference causes noise and
static on the telephone, failed and poor quality faxes for the printer, and slow Internet connection on your computer.
To install a filter for the printer:
1Connect the line port of the DSL filter to the wall jack.
2Connect a telephone cable from the  port on the back of the printer to the phone port on the DSL filter.
3To continue using a computer for Internet access, connect the computer to the DSL HPN port on the DSL filter.

							Scenario 3: VoIP telephone service
Follow this setup if you have telephone service from a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) provider.
Tips for this setup:
Connect the printer 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.
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.
Note: 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.

							Scenario 4: Digital telephone service through a cable provider
Setup 1: Printer is connected directly to a cable modem
Follow this setup if you normally connect your telephone to a cable modem.
Tips for this setup:

Connect the printer to the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port  on the cable modem. The port labeled Phone
Line 2 or Fax Port  is not always active. You may need to pay extra to your cable provider if you want to activate
the second phone port.
To make sure that the phone port on the cable modem 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.
Note: 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.
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.
