Faxing

Choosing a fax connection

To determine the best way to set up the scanner, see the following table.
Notes:
•
The scanner is an analog device that works best when directly connected to the wall outlet.
•
If you want a digital connection such as ISDN, DSL, or ADSL, then a third-party device (such as a DSL filter) is
required. Contact your DSL provider for a DSL filter. The DSL filter removes the digital signal on the telephone
line that can interfere with the ability of the scanner to fax properly.
•
You do not need to attach the scanner to a computer, but you do need to connect it to an analog telephone line
to send and receive faxes.
