Attaching a second phone

Want to attach a second phone (even a cordless model!) to your fax machine, so they can share the same phone jack? No problem.

Before we go further, let’s explain the idea. You’re plugging the second phone’s phone line into your fax machine’s PHONE2 jack, not the wall phone jack. In such a setup, only your fax machine connects to the wall. The second phone receives phone signals through your fax machine.

Now, let’s proceed…

1. If your second phone is already plugged into a wall phone jack, disconnect it from that jack, at the jack. Hold onto the phone plug; you’ll need it in step 2.

Note: Of course, if your second

phone is a model which also requires AC power, as is true for the base of a cordless phone, don’t unplug it from its AC power jack!

2. Using the plug mentioned in step 1, plug the phone cable from your second phone into the PHONE2 jack on the left side of your fax machine.

For information on how to use a connected second telephone with your fax machine, see “Receiving faxes,” beginning on page 1.29.

Loading paper

Of course, one of your fax machine’s most outstanding features is how it prints faxes and makes copies on plain paper! Now, everything that comes out of your fax machine is ready for distribution or archiving, right from the start.

The following instructions tell you how to load the paper on which the fax machine makes its printouts — copies and received faxes. Your machine’s standard paper cassette can hold up to 400 sheets at a time. (Each optional cassette can hold up to 200 sheets.)

Loading the paper cassette

Before you load paper, note the following:

The paper cassette can be adjusted to accept letter- or legal-sized paper.

Before you load the cassette, you will need to “tell” your fax machine which size of paper, letter- or legal-sized, you will be loading. You can do this by setting a pin located on the rear side of the paper cassette.

Note: If you will be using letter-sized paper, there’s no need to adjust the cassette; your fax is initially set for this paper size. Simply attach the LTR sticker to the outside of the paper cassette.

1. Pull the paper cassette completely out of your fax.

2. On the rear side of the cassette, you will see the pin and three sets of holes. Note the drawing below. If the pin is in the upper and lower set of holes, your fax “thinks” the cassette holds letter-sized paper. If the pin is in the middle and lower holes, your fax thinks the cassette has legal-sized paper.
