Lexmark 2WE, 4443, 90T6005 Faxing FAQ, What is a splitter and what type of splitter should I use?

2When the telephone rings and you hear fax tones when you pick up the handset, press on the printer or *9* on the telephone attached to the printer.

Tips:

•The default code for answering faxes manually is *9*, but for more security, you can change it to a number that only you know. You can enter up to 7 characters for your code. The valid characters are the digits 0-9 and the characters # and *.

•Make sure that the telephone is plugged into the port on the back of the printer and that the printer is connected to the wall jack through the port.

What is a splitter and what type of splitter should I use?

If there are limited wall jacks in your home or limited ports on your adapter, then you can use a phone splitter. A splitter splits the telephone signal and allows you to connect multiple devices to the wall jack. It has two or more ports where you can plug the devices. Do not use a line splitter.

To make sure that you are using the correct splitter, plug an analog telephone into the splitter and then listen for a dial tone.
