Special Line Considerations
Roll Over Phone Lines
A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that pass incoming calls to the next available line. The calls are usually passed down or “rolled over” to the next available phone line in a preset order.
Your MFC can work in a roll over system as long as it is connected to the last number in the sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not put the MFC on any of the other numbers; when the other lines are busy and a second fax call is received, the fax call is transferred to a line that does not have a fax machine. Your MFC will work best on a dedicated line.

Converting Telephone Wall Outlets
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 jack. The first two ways may require assistance from the telephone company. You can change the wall outlets from one RJ14 jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or, you can have an RJ11 wall outlet installed and slave or jump one of the phone numbers to it.
The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). If your MFC is on Line 1, plug the MFC into L1 of the triplex adapter. If your MFC is on Line 2, plug it into L2 of the triplex adapter.
