To set up the printer with a separate fax line

1.

Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, connect one end 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 supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your

country/region.
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the printer, you

might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords

you might already have in your home or office.

2.

Turn on the Auto Answer setting.

3.

(Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).

Run a fax test.

When the phone rings, the printer answers automatically after the number of rings you set in the

Rings to Answer setting. The printer begins emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine

and receives the fax.
