The fax modem is an analog device. Certain devices can be connected to the printer so that digital telephone services
can be used.
If you are using an ISDN telephone service, connect the printer to an analog telephone port (an R-interface port)
on an ISDN terminal adapter. For more information and to request an R-interface port, contact your ISDN provider.
If you are using DSL, connect to a DSL filter or router that will support analog use. For more information, contact
your DSL provider.
If you are using a PBX telephone service, make sure you are connecting to an analog connection on the PBX. If
none exists, consider installing an analog telephone line for the fax machine. For more information on faxing

							Installing the printer on a wireless network
(selected models only)
Wireless network compatibility
Your printer contains an IEEE 802.11g wireless print server. Your printer is compatible with IEEE 802.11 b/g/n routers
that are Wi-Fi certified. If you are having issues with an n router, verify with your router manufacturer that the current
mode setting is compatible with g devices, as this setting varies depending on the router brand/model.
Information you will need to set up the printer on a
wireless network
To set up the printer for wireless printing, you need to know:
The name of your wireless network. This is also known as the Service Set Identifier (SSID).
If encryption was used to secure your network.
The security key (either a WEP key or WPA passphrase) that allows other devices to communicate on the network
if encryption was used to secure your network.
You can locate your network WEP key or WPA passphrase by accessing your wireless access point or router and
checking the security information.
If your wireless access point (wireless router) is using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security, the WEP key should be:
Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
or
Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters. ASCII characters are letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols found on a
keyboard.
If your wireless access point is using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security, the WPA passphrase should be:
From 8 to 63 ASCII characters. ASCII characters in a WPA passphrase are case-sensitive.
or
Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are A-F, a-f, and 0-9.
If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not have a security key.
Note: If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, launch the wireless utility of
the computer network adapter and look for the network name. If you cannot find the SSID or the security information
for your network, see the documentation that came with the wireless access point, or contact your system support
person.
Installing the printer on a wireless network
Before you install the printer on a wireless network, make sure that:
Your wireless network is set up and working properly.
