KODAK HERO 4.2 All-in-One Printer

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 telephone service,

page 87

,

Connecting to a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), page 87

, or

Connecting

to an Internet or cable telephone service (Voice-Over-Internet Protocol or
VOIP), page 88

).

• 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

phone port on the back of the printer.

2. Connect the other end of the phone cord into either a wall phone jack or a DSL

filter, 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 phone 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 in the table under

Selecting fax settings,

page 91

).
