Multipurpose (broadband) digital telephone systems

If you use one of the following types of telephone services, you use a multipurpose, or “broadband” digital system:

•Internet telephone (also known as Voice–Over–Internet–Protocol or VOIP)

•Cable telephone

These systems transmit telephone signals across the same cables that transmit Internet or cable television signals.They require the use of computer or cable modems to route telephone traffic to your telephone or fax machine.

By connecting the telephone cable that came with your printer to the computer or cable modem and also to the ESP 9, your printer can successfully send and receive faxes over this type of telephone system.

Standard telephone systems

Sometimes called “Plain Old Telephone Systems” (POTS), this type of telephone service relies on a network of dedicated telephone wiring that cannot be used to transmit any other type of signal.

Your printer needs only the standard telephone cable that came with your printer, connected to both the printer and to the wall telephone jack, in order to send and receive faxes through the standard wall telephone jack.
