When the phone rings, the printer answers automatically after the number of rings you set in the Rings to Answer setting. The printer begins emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine and receives the fax.

Case B: Set up the printer with DSL

If you have a DSL service through your telephone company, and do not connect any equipment to the printer, use the instructions in this section to connect a DSL filter between the telephone wall jack and the printer. The DSL filter removes the digital signal that can interfere with the printer, so the printer can communicate correctly with the phone line. (DSL might be called ADSL in your country/region.)

NOTE: If you have a DSL line and you do not connect the DSL filter, you cannot send and receive faxes with the printer.

You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/region.

To set up the printer with DSL

1.Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.

2.Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, connect one end to the open port on the DSL filter, and 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 DSL filter 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.

As only one phone cord is supplied, you might need to obtain additional phone cords for this setup.

3.Connect an additional phone cord from the DSL filter to the telephone wall jack.

4.Run a fax test.
