What is a splitter and what type of splitter should I use? If there are limited wall jacks in your home or limited ports on your adapter, then you can use a phone splitter. A splitter splits the telephone signal and allows you to connect multiple devices to the wall jack. It has two or more ports where you can plug the devices. Do not use a line splitter. To make sure that you are using the correct splitter, plug an analog telephone into the splitter and then listen for a dial tone. What is my fax number? In most cases, your telephone number is also your fax number. If you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) service offered by telephone companies, then your fax number is the number that you assigned to the printer. Make sure that you enter the correct distinctive ring pattern for that number in the fax software or in the Fax Setup menu of the printer control panel. If you have more than one telephone line, then make sure that you enter the number for the line on which the printer is connected. What is my dialing prefix? The dialing prefix is the number or series of numbers that you press before you can dial the actual fax number or telephone number. If the printer is in an office setting or in a private branch exchange, this can be a specific number that you need to press so you can make a call outside the office. This can also be a country code or an area code that you need to enter if you are sending faxes outside of town. This can be very useful if you frequently send faxes to the same country or area. When you set the dialing prefix in the utility, the printer automatically inputs the prefix when you dial the fax number or telephone number. You can enter up to 8 characters as your dialing prefix. The valid characters are the numbers 0-9 and the characters pound (#) and star (*). If you are using the fax software to enter the dial prefix, then you may also include the characters plus, minus, comma, period, and parentheses. Faxing 93
