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.

1-LINE port
You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter
provided for your country/region.

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.

provider or vendor for further assistance.
