The fax modem is an analog device. Certain devices can be connected
to the printer so that digital telephone services can be used.

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.
