NOTICE: 1) This fax must be grounded using a three-prong plug. 2) Since the fax machine is grounded through the power outlet, you can protect yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone network by keeping the power to your machine on when you connect it to a telephone line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you want to move your machine, by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the power cord. 3) Lightning and power surges can damage this product! We recommend that you use a quality surge protection device on the AC power line as well as on the telephone line, or unplug the telephone line and electrical cords during a lightning storm. Connect the telephone line Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the jack labeled LINE on the left side of the fax machine. Connect the other end to a modular wall jack.

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 cannot 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. Your fax machine will work best on a dedicated line. Two-Line Phone System A two-line phone system iA-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. 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. 12 12 CHAPTER TWO 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). If your fax machine is on Line 1, plug the fax machine into L1 on the triplex adapter. If your fax machine is on Line 2, plug it into L2 on the triplex adapter. Triplex Adapter RJ14 RJ11 RJ14 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, which is our assumption in the following steps. 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. 1 Place the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your fax machine. 2 Plug 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. 3 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/L2 jack of the two-line TAD. 13 13 See Easy Receive p. 31 SET UP AND CONNECTIONS 4 Plug 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. Triplex Adapter Two Line Phone 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 machine’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 o...
