Cannot run the fax software
The printer must be connected to a telephone, DSL, or VoIP line before you can configure the fax settings in the fax
software.
MAKE SURE THE FAX SOFTWARE IS INSTALLED
The Fax Solutions Software is optional for Windows users and is installed with the printer software only if you select
it on the “Install Additional Software” screen during installation. If you did not install the fax software, then the fax
tab on the Printer Home takes you to our Web site where you can download the software.

before you can open the fax software and configure the fax settings.
