I just bought an epsom stylus cx9400F all in one printer. Will faxing work if connected to a digital phone as opposed to analog?

Thanks for any info.

Hello bart, welcome to PCHF.

The fax machine needs to be connected to the wall socket using a double adaptor. Not sure why your trying to connect it to a phone?

Thanks for the quick response. This is what I am now doing:

As I want a phone by my computer desk, I connected a phone line from the the all-in-one printer to the phone; I connected another phone line from the printer to the wall socket.

The Epson Stylus CX9400FAX printer instructions make no mention of digital vs.analog phones. I have digital. Do you know if I can send & receive faxes via a digital phone?

Thanks for any info.

Ok bart what make n model is your phone?This may then determin if you can send a fax with it?By checking up on the phones website?

Judging by what you have said there bart, your still not connected *via* the phone. Your all-in-one printer is connected directly to the phone line, so you will have no problems. The only clause is that if your line is actually digital. Digital lines can often be found on corporate networks such as Avaya. Many phones can often be mistaken as digital phones, just because they have a lcd screen on them does not make them a digital phone. It is still an analogue signal.

If your line is analogue (if your at home, then it will be), then best practice is to connect both lines directly to the wall, and using a splitter (as there are also different types of telephone cable):
