Setup Guide
Set up the fax (optional)10
For information on setting up the device for faxing using 
a serial-type phone system, see the Fax Configuration 
Web site for your country/region.
Dedicated phone line
Use this section if you plan on using the following type 
of phone line for the fax:
• Dedicated phone line (no other devices, such as 
a phone or answering machine, share the line).
• Dedicated phone line without devices sharing the 
line but with a subscription to a distinctive ring 
service.
• Private Branch Exchange (PBX) or an Integrated 
Services Digital Network (ISDN) line. For more 
information about PBX and ISDN lines, see the 
onscreen user guide on the Starter CD.
NOTE: You cannot receive faxes automatically if you 
have a voice mail service at the same phone number 
you use for fax calls. You must receive faxes manually; 
this means you must be available to respond in person 
to incoming fax calls. If you want to receive faxes 
automatically instead, contact your telephone company 
to subscribe to a distinctive ring service, or to obtain 
a separate phone line for faxing.
Set up the device to answer incoming calls manually. 
Press the Auto Answer button until the light is off.
1. Unplug any telephone devices from the phone jack 
where you are connecting the device. 
2. Connect the phone cord that came with the device 
between the 1-LINE port on the device and the 
phone jack. 
3. If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service, change 
the Answer Ring Pattern setting to the pattern that 
has been assigned to your fax number by the 
telephone company, for example, double rings or 
triple rings.
For information on changing this setting, see the 
onscreen user guide on the Starter CD.
NOTE: Your device is factory-set to answer all ring 
patterns. If you do not set the correct ring pattern 
assigned to your fax number by the telephone company, 
your device might answer both voice calls and fax calls, 
or it might not answer at all.
Shared phone line
If the fax is going to share the phone line with other 
devices, such as a phone, answering machine, 
computer/computer modem, or caller ID box, or if you 
have voicemail service included with your line, you must 
follow these instructions to determine how to set up your 
fax.
1. Follow the steps for the “Dedicated phone line” on 
page 10.
2. Plug additional devices into the 2-EXT port on the 
back of the device.
3. Use the following tables to determine the rest of your 
fax configuration.
