If your printer cannot send and receive faxes, ensure that the printer is connected to an approved analog
telephone line. The fax machine cannot send or receive faxes when it is connected directly to a digital
telephone line without the use of an analog filter.
Note:
If the fax connection is poor, transmit the fax at a lower rate. For the Starting Rate, select
Forced
(4800 bps).
