Digital subscriber line (DSL) telephone systems

A DSL telephone system is a dedicated telephone service that, like multipurpose digital systems, transmits packets of digital data over cables. Unlike multipurpose systems, DSL networks use the wires of a local telephone network to transmit its signals.

To transmit fax signals properly to your printer, you must connect the telephone cable that came with the printer to a cable equipped with a DSL filter, and then connect the filtered cable to the printer and to the wall jack.

Caution: Your telephones will not work without the installation of the DSL filter.

Using cordless telephones with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax

Cordless telephones, which connects to a digital, standard, or DSL telephone system can be used with your All-in-One printer. To do so, you must connect the base station of your telephone; i.e., the cradle which connects your phone to the wall telephone jack or digital modem, to the telephone cable that came with your printer.

Using voice–messaging services with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax

Voice messaging (also called voice mail) services are operated by your telephone company. Voice messaging systems use a centralized, computerized system for recording messages rather than equipment at your telephone. They do not record fax transmissions.

Your printer relies on recognizing fax signals via the cable connecting it to the telephone (or wall jack), and therefore cannot retrieve faxes routed to the voice messaging service.

To automatically retrieve faxes with your printer if you subscribe to voice messaging through your telephone company, you must have one of the following options in place:

A dedicated phone line that does not have voice mail used exclusively for fax transmissions.

If the telephone line connected to your printer accepts calls for two or more phone numbers, the number used for fax calls must use a distinctive ring not used by any other number sharing this line. See “Specifying a distinctive ring for Fax Auto–Answer” on page 36.
