6 Connect the fax line
Wireless connection
To fax, connect a phone cord to a telephone wall jack and
to the LINE port on the back of your product. To connect a
telephone or answering machine, use the EXT. port on your
product. See the Quick Guide for more details.
You must install the software on every computer from which
you want to print. For the first installation, we recommend using
a temporary USB connection to simplify wireless setup. After
the printer is connected to the network, you will be prompted
to remove the cable.
If you’re using Mac OS X 10.6.x or 10.7, or you don’t have a
USB cable, you will need to use the control panel on the printer
to select wireless settings. Follow the instructions on your
computer screen during software installation; they will explain
how to connect the printer wirelessly this way.
Note: If you’re connecting to a DSL phone line, you must use a DSL
filter or you won’t be able to fax. Contact your DSL provider for the
necessary filter.
Make sure you know your network name (SSID) and network
password:
