Multipurpose (broadband) digital telephone systems
If you use one of the following types of telephone services, you use a multipurpose,
or “broadband” digital system:
• Internet telephone (also known as Voice–Over–Internet–Protocol or VOIP)
• Cable telephone
These systems transmit telephone signals across the same cables that transmit
Internet or cable television signals.They require the use of computer or cable
modems to route telephone traffic to your telephone or fax machine.
By connecting the telephone cable that came with your printer to the computer or
cable modem and also to the ESP 9, your printer can successfully send and receive
faxes over this type of telephone system.
Standard telephone systems
Sometimes called “Plain Old Telephone Systems” (POTS), this type of telephone
service relies on a network of dedicated telephone wiring that cannot be used to
transmit any other type of signal.
Your printer needs only the standard telephone cable that came with your printer,
connected to both the printer and to the wall telephone jack, in order to send and
receive faxes through the standard wall telephone jack.
Digital subscriber line (DSL) telephone systems
A DSL telephone system is a dedicated telephone service that, like multipurpose
digital systems, transmits packets of digital data over cables. Unlike multipurpose
systems, DSL networks use the wires of a local telephone network to transmit its
signals.
To transmit fax signals properly to your printer, you must connect the telephone
cable that came with the printer to a cable equipped with a DSL filter, and then
connect the filtered cable to the printer and to the wall jack.
