NOTE: For more information, see "Advanced Fax Mode Menu Items" on page 27. Sending a Fax From the Computer Send faxes from computer files through the printer modem or the computer modem. Any file that can be printed can be faxed. NOTE: You can send and receive color faxes using the printer operator panel only. See "Faxing Using the Printer Operator Panel" on page 55. Connecting Cables • Connect the printer to the computer with a USB cable (sold separately) in order to scan documents to fax. • If you want to fax through the printer modem, connect an active telephone line to the LINE connector ( ) on the printer. If you want to fax through the computer modem, connect an active telephone line to the LINE connector ( ) on the computer's fax modem. NOTE: If you want the ability to fax from both the printer modem and the computer modem at different times without reconnecting cables, Dell recommends purchasing a splitter in order to connect two phone lines to one wall jack.
