There is a plug installed in the EXT port of the printer. This plug is necessary for the proper functioning of the printer.
Note: Do not remove the plug. If you remove it, other telecommunications devices in your home (such as telephones
or answering machines) may not work.
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 “Setup troubleshooting” on page 121.
Note: The printer is an analog device that works best when directly connected to the wall jack. Other devices (such
as a telephone or answering machine) can be successfully attached to pass through the printer, as described in the
setup steps. If you want a digital connection such as ISDN, DSL, or ADSL, a third-party device (such as a DSL filter) is
required.
You do not need to attach the printer to a computer, but you do need to connect it to a telephone line to send and
receive faxes.
