  1. Connect one end of the telephone cable to the line port of the printer.

  2. Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port on the VoIP adapter.

    Note:  The port labeled Phone Line 2 or Fax Port is not always active. VoIP providers may charge extra cost for the activation of the second phone port.

  3. Connect the telephone to the telephone port of the printer.

Notes:

  • To check if the telephone port on the VoIP adapter is active, plug an analog telephone into the port, and then listen for a dial tone.
  • If you need two phone ports for your devices, but do not want to pay extra cost, then use a phone splitter. Plug the phone splitter into the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port, and then plug the printer and telephone into the splitter.
  • To check the splitter, plug an analog telephone into the splitter, and then listen for a dial tone.
