You can connect the printer to equipment such as a telephone, an answering machine, or a computer 
modem. If problems occur, see Setup troubleshooting on page 72.
Note:The printer is an analog device that works best when directly connected to the wall 
jack. Other devices (such as a telephone or answering machine) can be 
successfully attached to pass through the printer, as described in the setup steps. 
If you want a digital connection such as ISDN, DSL, or ADSL, a third-party device 
(such as a DSL filter) is required.
You do not need to attach the printer to a computer, but you do need to connect it to a telephone line 
to send and receive faxes.
You can connect the printer to other equipment. See the following table to determine the best way to 
set up the printer.
