Setting the Telephone Line

Type 7
If you are connecting the machine to a line
that features PBX or ISDN to send and
receive faxes, it is necessary to change the
Telephone Line Type accordingly by
completing the following steps.
aPress Menu.
bPress a or b to choose
Initial Setup.
Press OK.
cPress a or b to choose
Phone Line Set.
dPress d or c to choose PBX, ISDN (or
Normal).
Press OK.
ePress Stop/Exit.
PBX and TRANSFER 7
The machine is initially set to Normal, which
lets the machine connect to a standard PSTN
(Public Switched Telephone Network) line.
However, many offices use a central
telephone system or Private Branch
Exchange (PBX). Your machine can be
connected to most types of PBX. The
machine's recall feature supports timed break
recall only (TBR). TBR will work with most
PBX systems allowing you to gain access to
an outside line, or transfer calls to another
extension. The feature works when or R is
pressed.
Note
You can program a R key press as part of
a number stored in a Speed Dial location.
When programming the Speed Dial
number, press R first (the LCD shows ‘!’),
then enter the telephone number. If you do
this, you do not need to press R each time
before you dial using a Speed Dial
location. (See Storing numbers
on page 56.) However, if PBX is not
chosen in the Phone Line Type setting,
you cannot use the Speed Dial number
that the R press is programmed into.
BT Call Sign (For U.K. only) 7
This machine feature lets you use the BT Call
Sign subscriber service which allows you to
have at least two separate telephone
numbers on one telephone line. Each
telephone number has its own distinctive
ringing pattern, so you know which telephone
number is ringing. This is one way you can
have a separate telephone number for your
machine.
Your machine has a BT Call Sign compatible
distinctive ringing function, allowing you to
dedicate a second telephone number (on the
same telephone line) just for receiving faxes.
Note
• You can switch BT Call Sign off
temporarily, then turn it back on. When
you get a new fax number, make sure you
reset this function. This machine will
automatically answer incoming calls that
use your new fax number.
• When you set the BT Call Sign feature to
ON, the receive mode is set to Manual
automatically. Manual mode will not
respond to incoming telephone calls,
since the number you use for telephone
calls will use the normal ring pattern.
