To set up the printer with a distinctive ring service

1.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer.

NOTE: You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your

country/region.

If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the printer, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office.

2.Turn on the Auto Answer setting.

3.Change the Distinctive Ring setting to match the pattern that the telephone company assigned to your fax number.

NOTE: By default, the printer is set to answer all ring patterns. If you do not set the Distinctive

Ring to match the ring pattern assigned to your fax number, the printer might answer both voice calls and fax calls or it might not answer at all.

TIP: You can also use the Ring Pattern Detection feature in the printer control panel to set distinctive ring. With this feature, the printer recognizes and records the ring pattern of an incoming call and, based on this call, automatically determines the distinctive ring pattern assigned by your telephone company to fax calls. For more information, see Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring on page 63.

4.(Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).

5.Run a fax test.
