Sending a Fax From the Computer

Send faxes from computer files through the printer modem or the computer modem. Any file that can be
printed can be faxed.

Connecting Cables

If you want to fax through the printer modem, connect an active telephone line to the FAX connector (
- left side connector) on the printer.

If you want to fax through the computer modem, connect an active telephone line to the LINE connector (
- left side connector) on the computer's fax modem.

What if I Have a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)?

DSL delivers digital data to a computer through a telephone line. Your printer is designed to work with
analog data. If you are faxing over a telephone line connected to a DSL modem, install a DSL filter to avoid
interference with the analog fax modem signal.

NOTE:

ISDN (integrated services digital network) and cable modems are not fax modems and are not

supported for faxing.

Connect the DSL filter to an active telephone line.

1.

Connect the printer directly to the output of the DSL filter.

NOTE:

Do not install any splitters between the DSL filter and the printer. Contact your DSL service

provider if you need more help.
