Two-Line External TAD FAX/MFC

You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are two ways to add a two-line telephone to the FAX/MFC’s wall outlet. You can plug the telephone line cord from the two-line telephone into the L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Or, you can plug the two-line telephone into the TEL jack of the two-line TAD.

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 FAX/MFC in FAX 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. (See Easy Receive, page 5-3.)

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.
