•We recommend you to use traditional analog phone services (PSTN: public switched telephone network) when
connecting telephone lines to use Fax. If you use other Internet services (DSL, ISDN, VolP), you can improve
the connection quality by using the Micro-filter. The Micro-filter eliminates unnecessary noise signals and
improves connection quality or Internet quality. Since the DSL Micro-filter is not provided with the machine,
contact your Internet Service provider for use on DSL Micro-filter.
