Choose 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 device. This is important because you might need to connect some of your existing office equipment directly to the device, and you might also need to change some fax settings before you can fax successfully.

To determine the best way to set up the device in your home or office, first read through the questions in this section and record your answers. Next, refer to the table in the following section and choose the recommended setup case based on your answers.

Make sure to read and answer the following questions in the order they are presented.

1.Do you have a digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your telephone company? (DSL might be called ADSL in your country/region.)

If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case B: Set up the device with DSL. You do not need to continue answering questions.

If you answered No, continue answering questions.

2.Do you have a private branch exchange (PBX) phone system or an integrated services digital network (ISDN) system?

If you answered Yes, proceed directly to Case C: Set up the device with a PBX phone system or an ISDN line. You do not need to continue answering questions. If you answered No, continue answering questions.
