Determining whether your phone line is dedicated or shared
To connect your printer for faxing correctly, you need to determine whether your
phone line is shared or dedicated.
• A
dedicated phone line is one that has only this printer and no other devices
connected to it. If you have a dedicated line, connect your printer as described
for your type of phone service (see
Connecting to a Standard or Cable telephone
Connecting to a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), page 79
Connecting to Internet telephone service (Voice-Over-Internet Protocol or
VOIP), page 80
).
• A
shared phone line is one that has several devices connected to it, such as a
phone and/or answering machine as well as the printer. If you have a shared line,
connect your printer in one of the following ways, based on the devices you have
connected to the same phone line.
If you share the line with an answering machine or telephone:
1. Connect one end of the phone cord that came with the printer into the LINE IN
port on the back of the printer.
2. Connect the other end of the phone cord into a wall phone jack, DSL filter, or
ATA, depending on the type of telephone service you use.
3. Connect one end of the phone cord for your answering machine into the EXT
OUT port on the back of the printer.
4. Connect the other end of the phone cord into the answering machine or
telephone.
NOTE: If you have an answering machine, set the number of rings to answer on the
printer to a higher number than the rings to answer for the answering
machine (see
Rings to Answer
under
Selecting fax settings, page 83
).
