Multi-line connections (PBX)
We suggest you ask the company who installed your PBX to connect your machine. If you have a multi line system we suggest you ask the installer to connect the unit to the last line on the system.

If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator we recommend that you set the Receive Mode to Manual.
We cannot guarantee that your machine will operate properly under all circumstances when connected to a PBX. Any difficulties with sending or receiving faxes should be reported first to the company who handles your PBX.
