Connected to different wall jacks
PHONE
LINE
To connect:
Connect the cable from the wall jack to the port of the printer.
Tips for this setup:
•
If you have only one telephone number on your line, then you need to set the printer to receive faxes automatically
(Auto Answer On).
•
Set the printer to pick up calls two rings after the answering machine. For example, if the answering machine picks
up calls after four rings, then set the printer to pick up after six rings. This way, the answering machine picks up
calls first and your voice calls are received. If the call is a fax, then the printer detects the fax signal on the line and
takes over the call.
•
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service provided by your telephone company, then make sure that you set the
correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer will not receive faxes even if you have set it to receive
faxes automatically.
