If the phone cord that came with the printer is not long enough, you can use
a coupler to extend the length. You can purchase a coupler at an
electronics store that carries phone accessories. You also need another
phone cord, which can be a standard phone cord that you might already
have in your home or office.
• Check the connection between the telephone wall jack and the printer to
make sure the phone cord is secure.
• Make sure you use the phone cord that came with the printer. If you do not
use the supplied phone cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the
printer, you might not be able to send or receive faxes. After you plug in the
phone cord that came with the printer, run the fax test again.
• If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter
is a two-cord connector that plugs into a telephone wall jack.) Try removing
the splitter and connecting the printer directly to the telephone wall jack.
