Getting the printer ready to fax
You can connect the printer with equipment such as a telephone, an answering machine, or a computer
modem. If problems occur, see “Setup troubleshooting” on page 101.
Note: 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.
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.
