Notes:

  • Make sure your all-in-one printer is fax capable. Use the fax cable that was included with your printer or functionally operating RJ-11 telephone cord.
  • A standard "analog" telephone cord uses a connector that is referred to as an RJ-11 connector.
  • An RJ-45 cable is used with Analog Telephone Adapters (ATA) to connect from the WAN port on the ATA and to the cable modem. This cable may be referred to as a CAT 5 cable.
  • A coaxial cable may be used for connecting your cable modem/router to the ATA.


Connecting your printer for standard analog telephone service:

  1. Connect one end of the fax cable (RJ-11) to the telephone wall jack.
  2. Connect the other end of the fax cable (RJ-11) to the LINE-IN port (bottom port) on the back of your printer.
