If you are using a DSL line you should use a DSL lter
obtained from your DSL provider.
NOTE:For printing postage, the mailstation 2™does not have to
be connected to a phone line.However, if you add funds frequently,
we recommend you keep it connected to an analog phone line.

systems use digital lines
that may damage the
mailstation 2™. Like the
mailstation 2™, most fax
machines, credit card
readers and modems also
require analog lines. The
mailstation 2™ can share
a line with these devices.
When in doubt, ask the
person responsible for
your phone systems.
