NOTE: You need to purchase a parallel splitter. A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front

and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a 2–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.

To set up the printer with a computer DSL/ADSL modem

1.

Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.
NOTE: Phones in other parts of the home/office sharing the same phone number with DSL

service need to be connected to additional DSL filters to avoid noise when making voice calls.

2.

Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printers, connect one end to the DSL filter,

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 DSL filter to the printer, you might not be

able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from phone cords you might already

have in your home or office.

3.

If you have a parallel-type phone system, remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on

the back of the printer, and then connect a phone to this port.

4.

Connect the DSL filter to the parallel splitter.

5.

Connect the DSL modem to the parallel splitter.

6.

Connect the parallel splitter to the wall jack.

7.

Run a fax test.

When the phone rings, the printer automatically answers 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.
If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service

provider or vendor for further assistance.
