Connecting to a telephone

4If you would like to use the same line for both fax and telephone communication, connect a second telephone line (not provided) between the telephone and the F slot of an active telephone wall jack.

5If you would like to use the same line for recording messages on your answering machine, connect a second telephone line (not provided) between the answering machine and the other N slot of the telephone wall jack.

Connect a telephone to the printer to use the fax line as a normal telephone line. Then set up the printer wherever your telephone is located to make copies or to send and receive faxes without using a computer.

Note: Setup steps may vary depending on your country or region. For more information on connecting the printer to telecommunications equipment, see the related topic, “Using an RJ11 adapter.”
