What is a splitter and what type of splitter should I use?
If there are limited wall jacks in your home or l imited ports on your adapter, then you can use a phone splitter. A
splitter splits the teleph one signal and allows yo u 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 split ter, plug an analog telephone into the s plitter and then listen for a
dial tone.
What is my fax number?
In most cases, your telephone number is also you r fax number. If you subscribe to the Dis tinctive Ring Pattern
Detection (DRPD) service offered by telephone compani es, then your fax number is the number that you assigned
to the printer. Make sure that you enter the correct distinctive ring pattern for that number in the fax software or in
the Fax Setup menu of the printer control panel.
If you have more than one telephone line, then make sure that you enter the number for the line on which the printer
is connected.
What is my dialing prefix?
The dialing prefix is the number or series of number s that you press before you can dial th e actual fax number or
telephone number. If the printer is in an off ice setting or in a private branch exchange, this can be a specifi c number
that you need to press so you can make a call outside the office. This can also be a country code or an area code that
you need to enter if you are sending faxes outside of town. This can be very useful if you frequently send faxes to the
same country or area. When you set the dia ling prefix in the utility, the printer aut omatically inputs the prefix when
you dial the fax number or telephone number.
You can enter up to 8 characters as your dialing prefix. The va lid characters are the numbers 0–9 and the characters
pound (#) and star (*). If you are using the fax software to enter th e dial prefix, then you may also include the chara cters
plus, minus, comma, period, and parentheses.
