Make sure that you enter the correct distinctive ring pattern for that number in the fax software or in the Fax Setup menu of the printer control panel.
How do I set the distinctive ring for the printer? Setting the correct ring is important if you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature offered by telephone companies. This feature allows you to have multiple telephone numbers on one telephone line. Each telephone number has a designated ring pattern (a single ring, a double ring, a triple ring). The different ring patterns let you know what telephone number was dialed, and what device you should use to answer the call.
How do I adjust the speaker volume on the printer? Listen to the dial tone to check if the telephone line is working and to check if the cables and devices are connected properly in your telephone network. Make sure that the dialing volume is not set to Off, especially if you are dialing a number on hook. If you set the printer to receive faxes manually, then make sure that you set the ringer volume loud enough for you to hear it. Adjusting the dialing volume 1 From the printer control panel, press .

Networking FAQ What is Wi-Fi Protected Setup? Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a simple and secure configuration that allows you to establish a wireless home network and enable network security without requiring prior knowledge of Wi-Fi technology. It is no longer necessary to configure the network name (SSID) and WEP key or WPA passphrase for network devices. Note: WPS only supports networks that communicate through wireless access points (wireless routers).
Where do I find my SSID? You can find the SSID for the wireless network by viewing the settings on the access point or wireless router. Most access points have a built-in Web server that can be accessed using a Web browser. Many network adapters provide a software application that allows you to view the wireless settings of your computer, including your SSID. Check your computer to see if a program was installed with your network adapter.
• The network is connected to the Internet through a DSL or cable modem. Internet Scenario 2: Wireless network with Internet access • All computers and printers connect to the network using a wireless access point or wireless router. • The wireless access point connects the network to the Internet through a DSL or cable modem. Internet Scenario 3: Wireless network with no Internet access • Computers and printers connect to the network using a wireless access point.
Scenario 4: Computer connected wirelessly to a printer without Internet access • A computer is directly connected to a printer without going through a wireless router. • This configuration is referred to as an ad hoc network. • The network has no connection to the Internet. Note: Most computers can connect to only one wireless network at a time. If you access the Internet over a wireless connection, you will lose Internet access if you are connected to an ad hoc network.
2 Attach the small, square connector to the printer. 3 Continue following the on-screen instructions. How are infrastructure and ad hoc networks different? Wireless networks can operate in one of two modes: infrastructure or ad hoc. In infrastructure mode, all devices on a wireless network communicate with each other through a wireless router (wireless access point).
Infrastructure mode is the recommended setup method because it provides: • • • • Increased network security Increased reliability Faster performance Easier setup Finding the signal strength Wireless devices have built-in antennas that transmit and receive radio signals. The signal strength listed on the printer network setup page indicates how strongly a transmitted signal is being received. Many factors can affect the signal strength.
REMOVE SOURCES OF INTERFERENCE Other types of radio frequencies can cause problems with the wireless signal on your network. These sources of interference can cause printing issues that seem to come and go. Turn off potential sources of interference where possible. Avoid using microwaves and cordless phones when printing over your wireless network. If another wireless network is operating in the vicinity, change the wireless channel on the access point.
3 Compare the SSID of the computer and SSID of the printer. If the SSIDs are the same, then the computer and the printer are connected to the same wireless network. If the SSIDs are not the same, then run the utility again to set up the printer on the wireless network used by the computer. For Macintosh users with an AirPort base station In Mac OS X version 10.5 1 From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences. 2 Click Network. 3 Click AirPort.
Can I use my printer on a USB and a network connection at the same time? Yes, the printer supports a simultaneous USB and network connection. The printer can be configured in the following ways: • Locally attached (connected to a computer using a USB cable) • Wireless network • Wireless network and locally attached simultaneously What is a MAC address? A Media Access Control (MAC) address is a 48-bit identifier associated with the hardware of network equipment.
The MAC address of the internal print server is a series of letters and numbers. Other devices sometimes use a type of MAC address called Universally Administered Address (UAA). MAC: XX XX XX XX XX XX UAA: XX XX XX XX XX XX Note: A list of MAC addresses can be set on an access point (router) so that only devices with matching MAC addresses are allowed to operate on the network. This is called MAC filtering.

Resolving intermittent wireless communications issues You may notice that your printer works for a short time and then stops working, although apparently nothing has changed on your wireless network. Many different issues can interrupt network communications, and sometimes more than one problem exists at the same time. These are possible solutions.
CONFIGURE THE WIRELESS ROUTER WITH A UNIQUE SSID Many wireless networks use the SSID that the router was originally configured by the manufacturer to use. Using the default SSID can cause problems when more than one network is operating in the same area with the same SSID. The printer or computer may attempt to attach to the wrong network, although it will appear to be trying to connect to the correct network. To avoid this type of interference, change the SSID on your wireless router from the default.
CHECK FOR WIRELESS ADAPTER UPDATES If you are having trouble printing from one particular computer, check the Web site of the manufacturer of the network adapter card in that computer. It is possible that there is an updated driver available that could resolve the issue. CHANGE ALL NETWORK DEVICES TO THE SAME TYPE While it is possible to successfully mix 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices on the same wireless network, the faster devices will sometimes prevent the slower devices from communicating.
