Operation Manual
There are two dierent ways to set up the printer with your computer based on the number of phone ports on
your computer. Before you begin, check your computer to see if it has one or two phone ports.
NOTE: If your computer has only one phone port, you need to purchase a parallel splitter (also called
a coupler), as shown in the illustration. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and two RJ-11 ports
on the back. Do not use a two-line phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11
ports on the front and a plug on the back.)

To set up the printer on the same phone line as a computer with two phone ports
1. Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the printer.
2. Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your computer dial-up modem) to
a telephone wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled
2-EXT on the back of the printer.
3. Connect a phone to the "OUT" port on the back of your computer dial-up modem.
4. Connect one end of the phone cord to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port
labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer.
NOTE: You might need to connect the phone cord to your country/region adapter.
5. If your modem software is set to receive faxes to your computer automatically, turn o that setting.
