wall jack and plug it into the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the device.

3. Connect a phone to the "OUT" port on the back of your computer dial-up modem.

If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall

jack to the device, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special
phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your
home or office.

off that setting.

If you do not turn off the automatic fax reception setting in your
