Case H: Shared voice/fax line with computer modem

There are two different ways to set up the printer with your computer based on the number of phone

ports on your computer. Before you begin, check your computer to see if it has one or two phone

ports.
NOTE: If your computer has only one phone port, you need to purchase a parallel splitter (also

called a coupler), as shown in the illustration. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and

two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a two-line phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter

which has two RJ-11 ports on the front and a plug on the back.)
