Change the Rings to Answer setting on the printer to the maximum number of rings supported by your

printer. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.)

Run a fax test.

When the phone rings, your answering machine answers after the number of rings you have set, and then

plays your recorded greeting. The printer monitors the call during this time, "listening" for fax tones. If

incoming fax tones are detected, the printer emits fax reception tones and receives the fax; if there are no

fax tones, the printer stops monitoring the line and your answering machine can record a voice message.

If you encounter problems setting up the printer with optional equipment, contact your local service provider

or vendor for further assistance.

If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also have a computer modem

and answering machine connected on this phone line, set up the printer as described in this section.

Since your computer dial-up modem shares the phone line with the printer, you cannot use both

your modem and the printer simultaneously. For example, you cannot use the printer for faxing while you are

using your computer dial-up modem to send an email or access the Internet.

There are two different ways to set up the printer with your computer based on the number of phone ports

on your computer. Before you begin, check your computer to see if it has one or two phone ports.

If your computer has only one phone port, you need to purchase a parallel splitter (also called

a coupler), as shown in the illustration. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and two RJ-11

ports on the back. Do not use a two-line phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two

RJ-11 ports on the front and a plug on the back.)
