Determining whether your phone line is dedicated or shared
To connect your printer for faxing correctly, you need to determine whether your
phone line is shared or dedicated.
•A dedicated phone line is one that has only this printer and no other devices
connected to it. If you have a dedicated line, connect your printer as described
for your type of phone service (see Connecting to a Standard or Cable telephone
service, page 75, Connecting to a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), page 75, or
Connecting to Internet telephone service (Voice-Over-Internet Protocol or
VOIP), page 76).
•A shared phone line is one that has several devices connected to it, such as a
phone and/or answering machine as well as the printer. If you have a shared line,
connect your printer in one of the following ways, based on the devices you have
connected to the same phone line.
If you share the line with an answering machine or telephone:
1. Connect one end of the phone cord that came with the printer into the LINE IN
phone port on the back of the printer.
2. Connect the other end of the phone cord into either a wall phone jack or a DSL
filter, depending on the type of telephone service you use.
3. Connect one end of the phone cord for your answering machine into the EXT
OUT phone port on the back of the printer.
4. Connect the other end of the phone cord into the answering machine or
telephone.
NOTE: If you have an answering machine, set the number of rings to answer on
the printer to a higher number than the rings to answer for the answering
machine (see Rings to Answer in the table under Selecting fax settings,
page 79).
