If your region supports multiple caller ID patterns, you may have
to change the default setting. There are two settings available: FSK
(pattern 1) and DTMF (pattern 2). The availability of these settings
by way of the Fax menu depends on whether your country or
region supports multiple caller ID patterns. Contact your
telecommunications company to determine which pattern or
switch setting to use.

REVIEW THIS DIGITAL PHONE SERVICE CHECKLIST
The fax modem is an analog device. Certain devices can be
connected to the printer so that digital telephone services can
be used.
• If you are using an ISDN telephone service, connect the
printer to an analog telephone port (an R-interface port) on
an ISDN terminal adapter. For more information and to
request an R-interface port, contact your ISDN provider.
• If you are using DSL, connect to a DSL filter or router that
will support analog use. For more information, contact your
DSL provider.
• If you are using a PBX telephone service, make sure you are
connecting to an analog connection on the PBX. If none
exists, consider installing an analog telephone line for the
fax machine.
IS THERE A DIAL TONE?
• Place a test call to the telephone number to which you want
to send a fax to make sure that it is working correctly.
• If the telephone line is being used by another device, wait
until the other device is finished before sending a fax.
• If you are using the On Hook Dial feature, turn up the volume
to verify a dial tone.
TEMPORARILY DISCONNECT OTHER EQUIPMENT
To ensure the printer is working correctly, connect it directly to
the telephone line. Disconnect any answering machines,
computers with modems, or telephone line splitters.
CHECK FOR JAMS
Clear any jams, and then make sure that Ready appears.
TEMPORARILY DISABLE CALL WAITING
Call Waiting can disrupt fax transmissions. Disable this feature
before sending or receiving a fax. Call your telephone company
to obtain the keypad sequence for temporarily disabling Call
Waiting.
DO YOU HAVE VOICE MAIL SERVICE?
Voice Mail offered through your local telephone company may
disrupt fax transmissions. To enable both Voice Mail and the

second telephone line for the printer.

If you have extension phones on the same line as the printer,
or subscribe to the telephone company's Distinctive Ring
service, keep the Ring Delay setting at 4.
