7. Set your answering machine to answer after a low number of rings.

8. Change your Rings to Answer setting on the printer to the maximum number of rings supported

by the printer.

NOTE: The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.

9. Run a fax test.

When the phone rings, your answering machine answers after the number of rings you have set, and

then play your recorded greeting. The printer monitors the call during this time, “listening” for fax

tones. If incoming fax tones are detected, the printer emits fax reception tones and receive the fax; if

there are no fax tones, the printer stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record

a voice message.

If you use the same phone line for telephone, fax, and have a computer DSL modem, follow these

instructions to set up your fax.

If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service

provider or vendor for further assistance.

Case K: Shared voice/fax line with computer dial-up modem and voice mail

If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, use a computer dial-up

modem on the same phone line, and subscribe to a voice mail service through your telephone

company, set up the printer as described in this section.

NOTE: You cannot receive faxes automatically if you have a voice mail service at the same phone

number you use for fax calls. You must receive faxes manually; this means you must be available to

respond in person to incoming fax calls. If you want to receive faxes automatically instead, contact

your telephone company to subscribe to a distinctive ring service, or to obtain a separate phone line

for faxing.

Since your computer dial-up modem shares the phone line with the printer, you cannot use both your

modem and the printer simultaneously. For example, you cannot use the printer for faxing if you are

using your computer dial-up modem to send an email or access the Internet.

There are two different ways to set up the printer with your computer based on the number of phone

ports on your computer. Before you begin, check your computer to see if it has one or two phone

ports.

●

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.)
