A940 fax problems!

Can anybody out there help me before the printer flies out of the window!!!  trying to set up the fax. when I try to send a fax the error message comes up PLUG PHONE LINE INTO MODEM. I am connected to broadband so I would assume that everything is ready to go.......but no. Advice would be appreciated.

 

cheers Tunny

    Tunny,

    Plug the phone line into your modem.  Broadband connections, whether cable or DSL, are different animals than faxing.  The A940 uses the analog modem in your computer to send faxes.  Analog fax modems only work on standard telephone lines.  You may have to install a POTS filter on the phone line to your computer's modem if you have a DSL broadband connection.

    Fax will not work with dsl or broadband modems. Use straight dial up connection
