CHECKLIST

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, then 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, then 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, then 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.
