Faxing 127 Faxing Note: Fax capabilities may not be available on all printer models. Scanner glass AB C Automatic document feeder (ADF) Use the ADF for multiple‑page documents. Use the scanner glass for single pages, small items (such as postcards or photos), transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings). Setting up the printer to fax The following connection methods may not be applicable in all countries or regions.
Faxing 128 Initial fax setup Many countries and regions require outgoing faxes to contain the following information in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page, or on the first page of the transmission: fax name (identification of the business, other entity, or individual sending the message) and fax number (telephone number of the sending fax machine, business, other entity, or individual). For more information, see “Regulatory notices for telecommunication terminal equipment” on page 375.
Faxing Choosing a fax connection Scenario 1: Standard telephone line Setup 1: Printer is connected to a dedicated fax line 129
Faxing 130 To connect: 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with the printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the telephone cable to an active analog wall jack. Tips for this setup: • You can set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On) or manually (Auto Answer Off). • If you want to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On), then set the printer to pick up on any number of rings that you want.
Faxing 131 Connected to different wall jacks PHONE LINE To connect: 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with the printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the telephone cable to an active analog wall jack. Tips for this setup: • If you have only one telephone number on your line, then you need to set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On). • Set the printer to pick up calls two rings after the answering machine.
Faxing 132 • If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service provided by your telephone company, then make sure that you set the correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer does not receive faxes even if you have set it to receive faxes automatically.
Faxing 133 Tips for this setup: • This setup works best if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service. If you have distinctive ring service, then make sure that you set the correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer does not receive faxes even if you have set it to receive faxes automatically. • If you have only one telephone number on your line, then you need to set the printer to receive faxes manually (Auto Answer Off).
Faxing 134 To minimize interference between the two channels and ensure a quality connection, you need to install a DSL filter for the analog devices (fax machine, telephone, answering machine) in your network. Interference causes noise and static on the telephone, failed and poor quality faxes for the printer, and slow Internet connection on your computer. To install a filter for the printer: 1 Connect the line port of the DSL filter to the wall jack.
Faxing 135 To connect: 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with the printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port on the VoIP adapter. Note: The port labeled Phone Line 2 or Fax Port is not always active. VoIP providers may charge additional cost for activation of the second phone port. 3 Connect the telephone to the port of the printer.
Faxing 136 Scenario 4: Digital telephone service through a cable provider Setup 1: Printer is connected directly to a cable modem 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with your printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port on the cable modem. Note: The port labeled Phone Line 2 or Fax Port is not always active. VoIP providers may charge additional cost for activation of the second phone port.
Faxing 137 • If you need two telephone ports for your devices, but do not want to pay additional cost, then do not plug the printer into the second telephone port. You can use a phone splitter. Plug the phone splitter into the Phone Line 1 or Phone Port, and then plug the printer and telephone into the splitter. • Make sure you use a phone splitter, not a line splitter. To make sure that you are using the correct splitter, plug an analog telephone into the splitter and then listen for a dial tone.
Faxing 138 If the wall jack or equipment in your facility is not compatible with this type of connection, then you need to use a telephone adapter. An adapter for your country or region may not come with your printer, and you may need to purchase it separately. There may be an adapter plug installed in the port of the printer. If you are using a telephone adapter or a facility port of the printer.
Faxing 139 Connecting the printer to a non‑RJ‑11 wall jack 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ‑11 adapter, and then connect the adapter to the wall jack. 3 If you want to connect another device (telephone or answering machine) to the same wall jack, and if the device has a non‑RJ‑11 connector, then connect it directly to the telephone adapter.
Faxing 140 Connecting the printer to a wall jack in Germany The German wall jack has two kinds of ports. The N ports are for fax machines, modems, and answering machines. The F port is for telephones.
Faxing 141 Connect the printer to any of the N ports. N F N PHONE 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came the printer to the LINE port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the telephone cable to the RJ‑11 adapter, and then connect the adapter to an N port. 3 If you want to connect a telephone and answering machine to the same wall jack, then connect the devices as shown. Note: Do not remove the adapter plug from the telephone system.
Faxing 142 Connecting to a distinctive ring service A distinctive ring service may be available from your telephone company. This service lets you have multiple telephone numbers on one telephone line, with each telephone number having a different ring pattern. This may be useful for distinguishing between fax and voice calls.
