What if I Have a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)?

NOTE: ISDN (integrated services digital network) and cable modems are not fax modems and are not supported for faxing.

2.Connect the printer directly to the output of the DSL filter.

NOTE: Do not install any splitters between the DSL filter and the printer. Contact your DSL service provider if you need more help.
