Setting up your area code (USA only)
5
When returning calls from the Caller ID
history, your machine will dial “1” plus the
area code for all calls. If your local dialing plan
requires that “1” not be dialed for calls within
your area code, enter your area code in this
setting. With the area code setting, calls
returned from the Caller ID history to
numbers within your area code will be dialed
using 10 digits (area code + 7-digit number).
If your dialing plan does not follow the
standard 1 + area code + 7-digit number
dialing system for calling outside your area
code, you may experience problems
automatically returning calls from the Caller
ID history. If this is not the procedure followed
by your dialing plan, you will not be able to
automatically return calls.

Special line considerations

Roll-over telephone lines
5
A roll-over telephone 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 telephone line in a
preset order.
Your 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 machine on any of the other numbers;
when the other lines are busy and a second
fax call is received, the fax call will be sent to
a line that does not have a fax machine. Your
machine will work best on a dedicated
line.
Two-line telephone system
5
A two-line telephone system is nothing more
than two separate telephone numbers on the
same wall outlet. The two telephone numbers
can be on separate jacks (RJ11) or mixed into
one jack (RJ14). Your 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 and yellow). To test the type of jack,
plug in a two-line telephone and see if it can
access both lines. If it can, you must separate
the line for your machine.
