digital connector.
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, then 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, then connect to a DSL filter or router that will
support analog use. For more information, contact your DSL
provider.

connecting to an analog connection on the PBX. If none exists, then
consider installing an analog telephone line for the fax machine.
