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

•

Connect the printer to the computer with a USB cable (sold separately) in order to scan
documents to fax.

•

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 Dell Photo AIO Printer
964 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.

1

Connect the DSL filter to an active telephone line.

2

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.

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

not supported for faxing.
