Select the correct fax setup for your home or oice
To fax successfully, you need to know what types of equipment and services (if any) share the same phone
line with the printer. This is important because you might need to connect some of your existing oice
equipment directly to the printer, and you might also need to change some fax settings before you can fax
successfully.

case in the sections that follow.
NOTE: If your home or oice setup is not described in this section, set up the printer as you would a regular
analog phone. Make sure you use the phone cord supplied in the box to connect one end to your telephone
