Setting up to fax while behind a PBX
If the printer is being used in a business or office, it may be connected to a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) telephone
system. Ordinarily, when dialing a fax number, the printer waits to recognize the dial tone and then dials the fax
number. However, this method of dialing may not work if the PBX telephone system uses a dial tone that is not
recognizable to most fax machines. The “Dialing while behind a PBX” feature enables the printer to dial the fax
number without waiting to recognize the dial tone.

Using a digital phone service
The fax modem is an analog device. Certain devices can be connected to the printer so that digital telephone services
can be used.
•
If you are using an ISDN telephone service, connect the 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, connect to a DSL filter or router that will support analog use. For more information, contact
your DSL provider.
•
If you are using a PBX telephone service, make sure you are connecting to an analog connection on the PBX.
If none exists, consider installing an analog telephone line for the fax machine. For more information on faxing
when using a PBX telephone service, see the related topic, “Setting up to fax while behind a PBX.”
