Dell 1dw, 5dw, V715W Scenario 2: Digital Subscriber Li ne (DSL)

Tips for this setup:
•This setup works best if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service. If you have distinctive ring service, th en make
sure that you set the correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer will not receive faxes even if you
have set it to receive faxes automatically.
•If you have only one telephone number on your line, then you need to set the printer to receive faxes manually
(Auto Answer Off).
When you answer the telephone and you hear fax tones, press *9* or the manual answer code on the telephone
to receive the fax.
•You can also set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On), but you need to turn off the voice
mail service when you are expecting a fax. This setting wo rks best if you are using voice mail more often than fax.
Scenario 2: Digital Subscriber Li ne (DSL)
EXT
LINE
A Digital Subscriber Line splits your r egular 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 voi ce calls (including faxes) an d digital Internet access.
To minimize interference between the two chan nels and ensure a quality connectio n, you need to install a DSL filter
for the analog devices (fax mach ine, telephone, answering machine) i n your network. Interference causes noise and
static on the telephone, failed and poor qualit y faxes for the printer, and slow Int ernet 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.
