Case B: Set up the device with DSL
If you have a DSL service through your telephone company, and do not connect any
equipment to the device, use the instructions in this section to connect a DSL filter
between the telephone wall jack and the device. The DSL filter removes the digital
signal that can interfere with the device, so the device can communicate properly with
the phone line. (DSL might be called ADSL in your country/region.)

NOTE: If you have a DSL line and you do not connect the DSL filter, you will not
be able to send and receive faxes with the device.

To set up the device with DSL
1.
Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.
2. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the device, connect one end to the

open port on the DSL filter, and then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-
LINE on the back of the device.

NOTE: You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter
provided for your country/region.
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the DSL filter to the device,
you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different
from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office.
As only one phone cord is supplied, you might need to obtain additional phone
cords for this setup.

3. Connect an additional phone cord from the DSL filter to the telephone wall jack.
4. Run a fax test.
If you encounter problems setting up the device with optional equipment, contact your
local service provider or vendor for further assistance.
