To set up the printer on the same phone line as a computer with two phone ports

1. Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the printer.

2. Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your computer dial-up modem) to a

telephone wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled 2-

EXT on the back of the printer.

3. Connect a phone to the "OUT" port on the back of your computer dial-up modem.

4. Connect one end of the phone cord to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port

labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer.

NOTE: You might need to connect the phone cord to your country/region adapter.

5. If your modem software is set to receive faxes to your computer automatically, turn o that setting.

NOTE: If you do not turn o the automatic fax reception setting in your modem software, the printer

cannot receive faxes.

6. Now you need to decide how you want the printer to answer calls, automatically or manually:

● If you set up the printer to answer calls automatically, it answers all incoming calls and receives

faxes. The printer cannot distinguish between fax and voice calls in this case; if you suspect the call

is a voice call, you need to answer it before the printer answers the call. To set up the printer to

answer calls automatically, turn on the Auto Answer setting.

● If you set up the printer to answer faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to

incoming fax calls or the printer cannot receive faxes. To set up the printer to answer calls

manually, turn o the Auto Answer setting.

7. Run a fax test.

If you pick up the phone before the printer answers the call and hear fax tones from a sending fax machine,

you need to answer the fax call manually.

If you use your phone line for voice, fax, and your computer dial-up modem, follow these directions to set up

your fax.

If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service provider

or vendor for further assistance.
