Setting the Telephone Line Type

Before using your machine, make sure you set the correct telephone line type for your telephone line. If you are unsure of your telephone line type, contact your telephone company. For xDSL or ISDN connections, contact the telephone company or service provider to confirm your line type.

Important

  • For users in China:

    After plugging the power cord and turning on the machine, the telephone line type is selected automatically. However, if the machine is connected to the control device such as an xDSL modem or terminal adapter, the telephone line type may not be selected correctly.

    In this case, set the line type manually.
