Select your fax setup case
Now that you have answered all the questions about the equipment and services that
share the phone line with the device, you are ready to choose the best setup case for
your home or office.
From the first column in the following table, choose the combination of equipment and
services applicable to your home or office setting. Then look up the appropriate setup
case in the second or third column based on your phone system. Step-by-step
instructions are included for each case in the sections that follow.
If you have answered all the questions in the previous section and have none of the
described equipment or services, choose "None" from the first column in the table.
NOTE: If your home or office setup is not described in this section, set up the
device as you would a regular analog phone. Make sure you use the phone cord
supplied in the box to connect one end to your telephone wall jack and the other
end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the device. If you use another phone
cord, you might experience problems sending and receiving faxes.
