Choosing a Suitable Place for Your Fax Machine
Use the following list as a guide to find a suitable place for your fax machine.
The Good Places...
Place your machine in a location where the temperature stays between 50-90.5°F(10-32.5°C).
Place your fax machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk.
Select a place that is free from vibration and shocks.
The mains plug on this equipment must be used to disconnect mains power.
Please ensure that the socket outlet is installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
And the Bad Places...
Avoid setting it up in a high-traffic area.
Avoid setting up the machine near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators.
Do not select a place that exposes your fax machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, humidity
moisture, or dust.
Do not connect your fax machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic
timers. This will cause a disruption of power and can wipe out information from the unit's
memory.
Do not connect your fax machine to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or
other equipment that might disturb the power supply.
Avoid placing the machine close to interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of
cordless phones.

SETUP& PREPARATION BEFORE USE
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
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
"rolled over" 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 can not roll away. Do not put the fax machine
on any of the other numbers. When the other lines are busy and a second fax call is
received, the fax call is transferred to a line that does not have a fax machine.
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 (RJll) or combined into
one jack (RJ14). Your fax machine must be plugged into an RJll jack. RJll and RJ14
jacks may be equal in size and appearance and both may contain 4 wires (black, red,
green, yellow). To test the type ofjack, plug in a two line phone and see if it can access
both lines. If it can, you must separate the lines for your fax machine.
Converting Telephone Wall Outlets
There are three ways to convert to an RJll receptacle. The first two ways may
require assistance from the telephone company. You can change the wall outlet 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 wall outlet. It will separate the wires into
two separate RJ11 jacks (line 1, line 2) and a third RJ14jack (lines 1 and 2). Plug the
fax machine into L2 of the triplex adapter.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Installing a Fax Machine, Two Line TAD and Two Line Telephone
When you are installing a 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 and 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 two line TAD. You will need a fourth
line cord if you add a two line telephone.
Place the two line TAD and two line telephone beside your fax machine. Plug one end
of the telephone line cord for your fax machine into the L2jack of the triplex adapter;
plug the other end into the LINE jack in the back of the fax machine. Plug 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 and L2 jack in the back of the two line TAD. Plug
one end of the second telephone line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack in the back
of the two line TAD; plug the other end into the EXT jack in the back of the fax
machine. The two line TAD hookup is complete. It will answer both lines as usual.
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 machine's wall outlet. Plug the telephone line
cord from the two line telephone into the LI+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. If you
prefer, you can plug it into the TELE jack in the back of the two line TAD instead.

Connecting Your Machine to a Multi Line System (PBXs)
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
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
machine in Fax Answer Mode to receive faxes at any time of the 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 will prevent 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 can not be
made.

SETUP& PREPARATIONBEFOREUSE
FoRYOUR INFORMATION
Connecting to a Private Branch Exchange
The following points should be kept in mind if you are installing the machine to work
with a private branch exchange(PBX).
1) It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all circumstances
with PBXs. Any cases of difficulty should be reported first to the company that
handles your PBX.
2) Ifallincomingcalls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is recommended
that the Answer Mode be set to Manual. (See page 7-1-2.) All incoming calls
should initially be regarded as telephone calls.
3) The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone types.
Custom Features on Your Phone Line
If you have Call Waiting, Ring Master, Voice Mail, an Answering Service, Alarm
System or any other custom calling feature on your telephone line it may create a
problem in the operation of your fax machine.
