Connect the power cord
When you connect the power, the screen displays 01/01 00:00 FAX.
NOTICE:
1) This fax must be grounded using a three-prong plug.
2) Since the FAX/MFC 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/MFC. Connect the other end to a modular wall jack.
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 “rolled over” to the next available phone line in a preset order.
Your FAX/MFC 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/MFC 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/MFC will work best on a dedicated line.
