Select the correct fax setup for your home or office

To fax successfully, you need to know what types of equipment and services (if any) share the same phone line with the printer. This is important because you might need to connect some of your existing office equipment directly to the printer, and you might also need to change some fax settings before you can fax successfully.

1.Determine if your telephone system is serial or parallel.

For more information, see Set up faxing (parallel phone systems) on page 145.

a.Serial-type telephone system—See Serial-type fax setup on page 168.

b.Parallel-type telephone system—Go to step 2.

● PBX: A private branch exchange (PBX) phone system.

● ISDN: An integrated services digital network (ISDN) system.

● Distinctive ring service: A distinctive ring service through your telephone company provides multiple telephone numbers with different ring patterns.

● Voice calls: Voice calls are received at the same phone number you use for fax calls on the printer.

● Computer dial-up modem: A computer dial-up modem is on the same phone line as the printer. If you answer Yes to any of the following questions, you are using a computer dial- up modem:

◦Do you send and receive faxes directly to and from your computer software applications through a dial-up connection?
