Faxing 108

Connected to different wall jacks

PHONE LINE

To connect:

1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with the printer to the port of the printer.

2Connect the other end of the telephone cable to an active analog wall jack.

Tips for this setup:

•If you have only one telephone number on your line, then you need to set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On).

•Set the printer to pick up calls two rings after the answering machine. For example, if the answering machine picks up calls after four rings, then set the printer to pick up after six rings. This way, the answering machine picks up calls first and your voice calls are received. If the call is a fax, then the printer detects the fax signal on the line and takes over the call.

•If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service provided by your telephone company, then make sure that you set the correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer does not receive faxes even if you have set it to receive faxes automatically.
