Connecting an External 
Telephone Answering Device (TAD)
Sequence
You might choose to connect an additional answering system. When you have 
an external TAD on the same telephone line as the FAX/MFC, the TAD 
answers all calls. The FAX/MFC ÒlistensÓ for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it 
hears them, the FAX/MFC takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesnÕt 
hear CNG tones, the FAX/MFC lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing 
message so your caller can leave you...

Two-Line Phone System
A two-line phone system is nothing more than two separate phone numbers on 
the same wall outlet. The two phone numbers can be on separate jacks (RJ11) 
or combined into one jack (RJ14). Your FAX/MFC must be plugged into an 
RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14 jacks may be equal in size and appearance and both 
may contain four wires (black, red, green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug 
in a two-line phone and see if it can access both lines. If it can,...

If you are installing the FAX/MFC to work with a PBX:
1It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly 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.
3The FAX/MFC may be used with either pulse...

User-Friendly Programming
We have designed your FAX/MFC with on-screen programming and a Help 
key.  User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all the 
functions your FAX/MFC has to offer. (See 
Using This Manual, page 1-1.)
Since your fax programming is done on the LCD, we created step-by-step on-
screen prompts to help you program your FAX/MFC.  All you need to do is 
follow the prompts as they guide you through the function menu...

Alternating Displays
When you see alternating displays, the LCD sometimes alternates between the 
currently selected option, and a help message giving brief instructions about 
how to proceed.  The display youÕll probably see most often is shown below, 
showing you, when you place an original in the ADF, that you can dial a number 
and send a fax, or you can make a copy.
