EXT

1	Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with printer to the port of the printer.
2	Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ‑11 adapter, and then connect the adapter to the wall jack.
3	If you want to connect another device (telephone or answering machine) to the same wall jack, and if the device
	has a non‑RJ‑11 connector, then connect it directly to the telephone adapter.

• The port of the printer may have an adapter plug for use with the adapter. Do not remove the plug from the port of the printer.

•In some countries or regions, the printer may not come with a telephone adapter or an adapter plug.
