INTRODUCTION
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 machine for you. It is advisable to have a separate line for
the fax machine. You can then leave the fax machine in FAX ONLY 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.
If you are Installing the Fax machine to Work with a PBX
1
It 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.

If 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.

The fax machine may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone
service.
Custom features on your phone line
If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, RingMaster, an answering service, an alarm
system or other custom feature on one phone line it may create a problem with the
operation of your fax machine. (See
Custom features on a single line
on page 12-5.)
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.
