Description

This article shows how to connect the MAXIFY GX2020 to a telephone line for faxing.

Solution

The connection method differs depending on your telephone line.

If the connection is incorrect, the printer cannot send/receive faxes. Connect the printer correctly.

 Do not connect fax devices and/or telephones in parallel (US and Canada only).

If two or more fax devices and/or telephones are connected in parallel, the following problems may occur and the printer may not operate properly.

  • If you pick up the handset of the telephone that is connected in parallel during fax transmission or reception, the fax image may be corrupted or a communication error may occur.
  • Such services as Caller ID, etc. may not operate properly on the telephone.

    Do not connect the printer and telephones in parallel

    If you cannot avoid parallel connections, set the receive mode to TEL priority mode, understanding that the above problems may occur. You will only be able to receive faxes manually.
