Faxing
Setup 3: Printer is sharing the line with a telephone subscribed to voice mail service
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.
3
Connect the telephone to the telephone port of the printer.
Notes:
•
This setup works best if you are using voice mail more often than fax, and if you subscribe to a
distinctive ring service.
•
When you answer the telephone and you hear fax tones, press *9* or the manual answer code on the
telephone to receive the fax.
•
You can also set the printer to receive faxes automatically, but turn off the voice mail service when you
are expecting a fax.
