Sending A Fax From The Computer; Connecting Cables - Dell 964 All In One Photo Printer User Manual

Make sure your printer is on and Auto Answer is turned on, and the answering machine must answer the
call.
If a fax is detected, the printer receives the fax and disconnects the answering machine.
If a fax is not detected, the answering machine completes the call.

Sending a Fax From the Computer

Send faxes from computer files through the printer modem or the computer modem. Any file that can be
printed can be faxed.

Connecting Cables

Connect the printer to the computer with a USB cable (sold separately) in order to scan documents to
fax.
If you want to fax through the printer modem, connect an active telephone line to the FAX connector (
- left side connector) on the printer.
If you want to fax through the computer modem, connect an active telephone line to the LINE
connector ( - left side connector) on the computer's fax modem.
What if I Have a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)?
DSL delivers digital data to a computer through a telephone line. Your Dell Photo AIO Printer 964 is designed
to work with analog data. If you are faxing over a telephone line connected to a DSL modem, install a DSL
filter to avoid interference with the analog fax modem signal.
1. Connect the DSL filter to an active telephone line.
2. Connect the printer directly to the output of the DSL filter.
NOTE: Do not install any splitters between the DSL filter and the printer. Contact your DSL service
provider if you need more help.
NOTE: ISDN (integrated services digital network) and cable modems are not fax modems and are not
supported for faxing.
