a telephone wall jack. Disconnect the cord from the telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled
2-EXT on the back of the printer.
3. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, connect one end to your telephone wall jack,
then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer.
NOTE: You might need to connect the phone cord to your country/region adapter.
4. If your modem software is set to receive faxes to your computer automatically, turn o that setting.
NOTE: If you do not turn o the automatic fax reception setting in your modem software, the printer
cannot receive faxes.
5. Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
6. (Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).
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.
