							A - 10   APPENDIX A
Multi-line connections (PBX)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often 
relatively simple to connect the machine to a key system or a PBX 
(Private Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact the 
company that installed your telephone system and ask them to 
connect the machine for you. It is advisable to have a separate line 
for the machine.
If the machine is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your 
installer to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This 
prevents the unit from being activated each time a telephone call is 
received.
If you are installing the ma chine to work with a PBX
1It is not guaranteed that the unit will operat e properly under all 
circumstances with a PBX. Any cases of difficulty should be 
reported first to the company that handles your PBX.
2If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, 
it is recommended that the Receive Mode be set to  Manual. All 
incoming calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.
3Make sure the Phone Line Type is set to PBX. (See  Setting the 
Phone Line Type  on page 2-3.)
Custom features on your phone line
If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, 
RingMaster, an answering service, an alarm system or other custom 
feature on one phone line it may create a problem with the operation 
of your machine. (See  Custom features on a single line.  on page 
12-12.)

On-screen programming
Your machine is designed to be easy to use with LCD on-screen 
programming using the navigation keys. User-friendly programming 
helps you take full advantage of all the menu selections your 
machine has to offer.
Since your programming is done on the LCD, we have created 
step-by-step on-screen instructions to help you program your 
machine. All you need to do is follow the instructions as they guide 
you through the menu selections and programming options.
Menu table
You can probably program your machine without the User’s Guide if 
you use the Menu table that b egins on page B-3. These pages will 
help you understand the menu selections and options that are found 
in the machine’s programs.
Memory storage
If there is a power failure, you will not lose your menu settings 
because they are stored permanently. Temporary settings (such as 
Contrast, Overseas Mode, and so on) will be lost. You may also have 
to reset the date and time.
Appendix B
You can program your machine by pressing Menu/Set, 
followed by the menu numbers. 
For example to set  Fax Resolution to Fine :
Press 
Menu/Set, 2, 2, 2 and ▲ or ▼ to select  Fine.
Press
