Multi-Line Connections (PBX)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to
connect the FAX/MFC 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/MFC for you. It is advisable to have a separate line
for the FAX/MFC. You can then leave the machine in FAX ONLY Mode to receive
faxes any time of day or night.
If the FAX/MFC 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.
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/MFC cannot be made.
