NOTE: If your computer has only one phone port, you need to purchase a parallel splitter (also called
a coupler), as shown in the illustration. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and two RJ-11 ports
on the back. Do not use a two-line phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11
ports on the front and a plug on the back.)
Example of a parallel splitter
To set up the printer on the same phone line as a computer with two phone ports

4 Computer with modem
5 Telephone
1. Remove the white plug from the port labeled 2-EXT on the back of the printer.
2. Find the phone cord that connects from the back of your computer (your computer dial-up modem) to
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. Connect a phone to the "OUT" port on the back of your computer dial-up modem.
4. 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 supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/
region.
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the printer, you might not be
able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have
in your home or office.
