To set up the printer on the same phone line as a computer with two phone ports

Page 102 highlights

There are two different ways to set up the printer with your computer based on the number of phone ports on your computer. Before you begin, check your computer to see if it has one or two phone ports. ● If your computer has only one phone port, you need to purchase a parallel splitter (also called a coupler), as shown in the illustration. (A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a two-line phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on the front and a plug on the back.) Figure 5-15 Example of a parallel splitter ● If your computer has two phone ports, set up the printer as follows: Figure 5-16 Back view of the printer 1 Telephone wall jack 2 Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer to connect to the 1-LINE port You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/ region. 3 Computer with modem 4 Telephone To set up the printer on the same phone line as a computer with two phone ports 1.
