You can connect the printer to equipment such as a telephone, an answering machine, or a computer
modem. If problems occur, see Setup troubleshooting on page 72.

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.
You can connect the printer to other equipment. See the following table to determine the best way to
set up the printer.
Connecting directly to a telephone wall jack
