A fax cannot be sent or received on an optical fiber line.

This machine conforms to an analog telephone line standard. The machine can be connected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) only. If you connect the machine to a digital telephone line or a dedicated telephone line, it might impede proper operation of the machine and could be the cause of damage. Make sure to confirm a type of telephone line before connecting the machine. Contact your optical fiber line or IP telephone line service providers if you want to connect the machine to those telephone lines.

The machine dials up to an unintended connection destination (if a dialup router is connected to a network).

If a dialup router does not need to pass broadcast packets, set the dialup router so that the broadcast packets will not pass. If the dialup router needs to pass broadcast packets, check whether the settings are correct.
If a DNS server is located in an external network, set the IP address to be connected, not the host name, even if connecting to the devices that are on the network that is connected to the machine.
If a DNS server is located on a network that is connected to the machine and the information about the devices that are connected to an external network is registered to the DNS server, check whether the settings are correct.

Is the USB connection with the computer restricted?
Restricting USB Functions
Change the USB cable. Replace the USB cable with a shorter one if it is long.
When you are using a USB hub, directly connect the machine and the computer by using the USB cable.
When using the machine with a USB connection, be sure to match the machine settings to the OS of the computer.
