ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTIONS 2 - 13 4Plug one end of the second telephone line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of the two-line TAD. Plug the other end into the EXT.jack on the left side of the FAX/MFC. You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are two ways to add a two-line telephone to the FAX/MFC’s wall outlet. You can plug the telephone line cord from the two-line telephone into the L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Or, you can plug the two-line telephone into the TEL jack of the two-line TAD. 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 FAX/MFC for you. It is advisable to have a separate line for the FAX/MFC. You can then leave the FAX/MFC in FAX mode to receive faxes any time of day or night. If the FAX/MFC 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 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. 3(For Canada only) The FAX/MFC may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone service. As with all fax units, this machine must be connected to a two wire system. If your line has more than two wires, proper connection of the FAX/MFC cannot be made.

ON-SCREEN PROGRAMMING 3 - 1 33On-Screen Programming User-Friendly Programming We have designed your FAX/MFC with on-screen programming using navigation keys. User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all the menu selections your FAX/MFC has to offer. Since your 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 menu selections and programming options. Additionally, you can program settings more quickly by pressing Menu/Set and the menu number using the dial pad. Menu Selection Table You can probably perform most of these programming operations without the Owner’s Manual. To help you understand the menu selections and options that are found in the FAX/MFC programs, use the Menu Selection Table on page 3-3. You can program your FAX/MFC by pressing Menu/Set followed by the menu numbers. For example: to set FAX RESOLUTION to FINE, press Menu/Set, 2, 2, 2 and to select FINE, and then press Menu/Set. Alternating Displays Sometimes, the LCD alternates between the active setting and a Help message giving brief instructions about how to proceed. The message you’ll probably see most often is shown below. When you place an original in the ADF, the message appears to tell you that you can dial a number and send a fax, or you can make a copy. or FAX: NO. & START COPY: NO. & COPY
