Choosing a fax connection
You can connect the printer with equipment such as a telephone, an answering machine, or a computer modem. If
problems occur, see the topics listed under “Setup troubleshooting” in the “Troubleshooting” chapter.

Other devices (such as a telephone or answering machine) can be successfully attached to pass through the
printer, as described in the setup steps.
