Connecting to a Telephone
Note
For best performance, the telephone should be connected directly to the fax machine.
Your fax machine is not designed for use in a phone system that has call waiting, multiple phone
extensions, caller ID, voice-mail, modems or roll-over lines. Use of a phone line having multiple
extensions may cause transmission and/or reception problems if any of the extensions are picked
up during data transmission/reception. If problems occur, consider using a dedicated phone line
for the fax machine or configuring the fax machine for distinctive ring detection as described
later in this chapter.
Your fax machine may have break-off tabs protecting the telephone and line connectors on the
back of the machine. Carefully twist and pry the tabs out of the slots to access the connectors.
