Getting the printer ready to fax

CAUTION: Do not use the fax feature during a lightning storm. Do not set up this product or make any electrical or cabling connections, such as the power supply cord or telephone, during a lightning storm.

Choosing a fax connection

You can connect the printer with equipment such as a telephone, an answering machine, or a computer modem. If problems occur, see the topics listed under “Setup troubleshooting” in the “Troubleshooting” chapter.

Notes:

•The printer is an analog device that works best when directly connected to the wall jack.

•Other devices (such as a telephone or answering machine) can be successfully attached to pass through the printer, as described in the setup steps.

•If you want a digital connection such as ISDN, DSL, or ADSL, a third-party device (such as a DSL filter) is required. For more information, see “Using a digital phone service” on page 17.

You do not need to attach the printer to a computer, but you do need to connect it to a telephone line to send and receive faxes.

You can connect the printer to other equipment. See the following table to determine the best way to set up the printer.
