CAUTION: Do not use the fax feature during a lightning storm. Do not set up this product or make any electrical
or cabling connections, such as the power supply cord or telephone, during a lightning storm.

You can connect the printer with equipment such as a telephone, an answering machine, or a computer modem. If
problems occur, see the topics listed under “Setup troubleshooting” in the “Troubleshooting” chapter.

The printer is an analog device that works best when directly connected to the wall jack.

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. For more information, see “Using a digital phone service” on page 25.

You do not need to attach the printer to a computer, but you do need to connect it to a telephone line to send and
receive faxes.

You can connect the printer to other equipment. See the following table to determine the best way to set up the
printer.
