Use a minimum 26 AWG phone cord to connect to the port.
You might need to connect the phone cord to your country/region adapter.
3 Telephone (optional).
To set up the printer with a shared voice/fax line
1. Using the phone cord, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the
port on the printer.
NOTE: You might need to connect the phone cord to your country/region adapter.
2. Now you need to decide how you want the printer to answer calls, automatically or manually:
● If you set up the printer to answer calls automatically, it answers all incoming calls and receives
faxes. The printer cannot distinguish between fax and voice calls in this case; if you suspect the call
is a voice call, you need to answer it before the printer answers the call. To set up the printer to
answer calls automatically, turn on the Auto Answer setting.
● If you set up the printer to answer faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to
incoming fax calls or the printer cannot receive faxes. To set up the printer to answer calls
manually, turn o the Auto Answer setting.
3. Run a fax test.
If you pick up the phone before the printer answers the call and hear fax tones from a sending fax machine,
you need to answer the fax call manually.
If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service provider
or vendor for further assistance.
Case F: Shared voice/fax line with voice mail
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also subscribe to a voice mail
service through your telephone company, set up the printer as described in this section.
