Select the correct fax setup for your home or office

To fax successfully, you need to know what types of equipment and services (if any) share the same

phone line with the printer. This is important because you might need to connect some of your

existing office equipment directly to the printer, and you might also need to change some fax settings

before you can fax successfully.

1.

Determine if your telephone system is serial or parallel. See

Set up faxing (parallel phone

systems) on page 110

.

a.

Serial-type telephone system—See

Serial-type fax setup on page 133

.

b.

Parallel-type telephone system—Go to step 2.

2.

Select the combination of equipment and services sharing your fax line.

DSL: A Digital subscriber line (DSL) service through your telephone company. (DSL might

be called ADSL in your country/region.)

PBX: A private branch exchange (PBX) phone system or an integrated services digital

network (ISDN) system.

Distinctive ring service: A distinctive ring service through your telephone company provides

multiple telephone numbers with different ring patterns.

Voice calls: Voice calls are received at the same phone number you use for fax calls on the

printer.

Computer dial-up modem: A computer dial-up modem is on the same phone line as the

printer. If you answer Yes to any of the following questions, you are using a computer dial-

up modem:

Do you send and receive faxes directly to and from your computer software

applications through a dial-up connection?

Do you send and receive email messages on your computer through a dial-up

connection?

Do you access the Internet from your computer through a dial-up connection?
