Notes:
The printer is an analog device that works best when directly connected to the wall outlet. Other devices (such
as a telephone or answering machine) can be successfully attached to pass through the printer, as described in
the setup steps.
If you want a digital connection such as ISDN, DSL, or ADSL, a third-party device (such as a DSL filter) is required.
Contact your DSL provider for a DSL filter. The DSL filter removes the digital signal on the telephone line that can
interfere with the ability of the printer to fax properly.
You do not need to attach the printer to a computer, but you do need to connect it to an analog telephone line
to send and receive faxes.
