Using a Computer Modem
If you want to use your computer modem for faxing or for a dial-up internet connection, connect
the computer modem directly to the back of your printer with the TAD as shown here in Figure 2.
• Set your printer to Ans/Fax mode and set the Ring to Answer to a digit greater than the
rings to answer setting for the TAD.
• Turn off the computer modem's fax-receive feature.
• Do not use the computer modem if your printer is sending or receiving a fax.
• To fax via the computer modem, follow the instructions provided with your computer
modem and fax application.
• You can capture images using your printer and Dell ScanDirect and send them using your
fax application with the computer modem.
Fax Data Back-up
The Dell 2355dn Laser MFP has 4 MB (Approx. 200 pages at ITU-T #1 Chart) back-up memory.
If there are no paper or no toner left during the fax receiving, the received fax data cannot be
printed. In this case, the machine automatically saves fax data in the back-up memory. But, if the
machine fails to complete the receiving fax, the rest of the fax data will not be saved the memory.
