Setup 2: Printer is sharing the line with an answering machine
Note: If you subscribe to a 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.
Connected to different wall jacks
1
Connect one end of the telephone cable to the line port of the printer.
2
Connect the other end of the cable to an active analog wall jack.
Notes:
•
If you have only one telephone number on your line, then set the printer to receive faxes automatically.
•
Set the printer to pick up calls two rings after the answering machine. For example, if the answering
machine picks up calls after four rings, then set the printer Rings to Answer setting to 6.
