You can use your printer to do a variety of things. A few important things to note:

NOTE: The printer (whether it is connected to a computer or not) must be connected to a telephone line before you can send a fax.
NOTE: If you use a DSL modem for your computer, you must install a DSL filter on the telephone line attached to your computer.
