							19FAX MACHINE SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
Connecting an External Telephone
Your fax machine is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular
phone. However, you can also connect a separate telephone (or telephone
answering device) directly to your fax machine.
Connect the modular plug on the telephoneÕs line cord to the jack labeled
EXT. on the left side of the fax machine.
Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays EXT. TEL IN USE,
and, if the fax machine handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect the call
on the external phone and switch to the fax machine, press 
Hook.
Special Line Considerations
Roll Over Phone Lines
A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines
that pass incoming calls to each other if they are busy. The calls are usually
passed down or Òrolled overÓ to the next available phone line in a preset order.
Your fax machine can work in a roll over system as long as it is the last
number in the sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not put the fax
machine on any of the other numbersÑwhen the other lines are busy and a
second fax call is received, the fax call would be transferred to a line that
does not have a fax machine. Your fax machine will work best on a
dedicated line.
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 machine 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, you must separate the line for your fax machine.

							20CHAPTER TWO
Converting Telephone Wall  Outlets
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 receptacle. The first two ways
may require assistance from the telephone company. You can change the
wall outlets from one RJ14 jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or, you can have an
RJ11 wall outlet installed and slave or jump one of the phone numbers to it.
The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a triplex
adapter into an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two separate RJ11
jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). Plug the fax
machine into Line 2 of the triplex adapter.

Installing Fax Machine, External Two-Line TAD,
and Two-Line Telephone
When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering device
(TAD) and a two-line telephone, your fax machine must be isolated on one
line at both the wall jack and at the TAD. The most common connection is
to put the fax machine on Line 2. The back of the two-line TAD must have
two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other labeled L2. You
will need at least three telephone line cords, the one that came with your fax
machine and two for your external two-line TAD. You will need a fourth
line cord if you add a two-line telephone.
1Place the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your fax machine.
2Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your fax machine into the
L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on
the left side of the fax machine.
3Plug one end of the first telephone line cord for your TAD into the L1
jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the L1 or L1/L2 jack
of the two-line TAD.

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 machine.

Two-Line External TAD Fax Machine
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 machineÕs 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 fax 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 machine for you. It is
advisable to have a separate line for the fax machine. You can then leave the
fax machine in FAX mode to receive faxes any time of day or night.
If the fax 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.
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 machine
cannot be made.

							22CHAPTER TWO
If you are installing the fax machine 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 Answer mode be set to MANUAL. All incoming
calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.
3The fax machine may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone
service.

User-Friendly Programming
We have designed your fax machine with on-screen programming and a Help key.
User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all the functions
your fax machine has to offer.
Since your fax programming is done on the LCD, we created step-by-step on-
screen prompts to help you program your fax machine.  All you need to do is
follow the prompts as they guide you through the function menu selections and
programming options and settings.
Function Mode
You can access the function mode by pressing Function. When you enter the
function mode, your fax machine displays a list of main menu options from which
you can choose.  These options appear one after the other on the display.  Select
an option by pressing 
Set when the option appears on the screen.
You can ÒscrollÓ more quickly through options by pressing 
. When the screen
displays your selection, press 
Set. (Press  to scroll backward if you passed
your choice or to save key strokes. Both arrow keys show all options, in the
opposite order.)
Before you press 
Set, you can correct a mistake you made entering information in
a field using the dial pad. Use 
 to back up and then type over the incorrect
characters. When you finish a function, the screen displays ACCEPTED.
If you want to exit the Function mode, press Stop.

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 a document in the feeder, that you can dial a number and
send a fax, or you can make a copy.

Function Selection Table
If you have a basic understanding of how to program your fax machine, you can
perform most of the programming settings without the OwnerÕs Manual.  To help
you understand the function selections, options and settings that are found in
your fax programs, use the Function Selection Table below.
