Cannot run the fax software

The printer must be connected to a telephone, DSL, or VoIP line before you can configure the fax settings in the fax software.

MAKE SURE THE FAX SOFTWARE IS INSTALLED

The Fax Solutions Software is optional for Windows users and is installed with the printer software only if you select it on the “Install Additional Software” screen during installation. If you did not install the fax software, then the fax tab on the Printer Home takes you to our Web site where you can download the software.

MAKE SURE THE PRINTER IS CONNECTED TO A TELEPHONE LINE

You need to connect the printer to your telephone line (through a standard wall jack, a DSL filter, or a VoIP adapter) before you can open the fax software and configure the fax settings.
