Installing a Fax Machine, Two Line TAD and Two Line Telephone
When you are installing a two line telephone answering device (TAD) and a two line
telephone, your fax machine must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and
at the TAD. The most common
connection
is to put the fax machine
on line 2. The back
of the two line TAD must have two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1 and L2 and
the
other
labeled
L2.
You
will
need
at
least
three
telephone
line
cords:
the
one
that
came with your fax machine and two for your two line TAD. You will need a fourth
line
cord
if
you
add
a
two
line
telephone.
Place the two line TAD and two line telephone beside your fax machine. Plug one end
of
the
telephone
line
cord
for
your
fax
machine
into
the
L2
jack
of
the
triplex
adapter;
plug the other end into the LINE jack in the back of the fax machine. Plug one end
of
the
first
telephone
line
cord
for
your
TAD
into
the
L1
jack
of
the
triplex
adapter;
plug the other end into the L1 or L1 and L2 jack in the back of the two line TAD. Plug
one end of the second telephone line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack in the back
of the two line TAD; plug the other end into the EXT jack in the back of the fax
machine. The two line TAD hookup is complete. It will answer both lines as usual.
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
machine’s
wall
outlet.
Plug
the
telephone
line
cord from the two line telephone into the L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. If you
prefer, you can plug it into the TELE jack in the back of the two line TAD instead.

Connecting Your Machine to a Multi Line System (PBXs)
Most
offices
use
a
central
telephone
system.
While
it
is
often
relatively
simple
to
connect the machine to a key system or a PBX (private branch exchange), we suggest
you contact the company that installed your telephone system and ask them to
connect the fax machine for you.
It is advisable to have a separate line for the fax machine. You can then leave the
machine in Fax Answer Mode to receive faxes at any time of the day or night.
If the fax machine is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to
connect
the
unit
to
the
last
line
on
the
system.
This
will
prevent
the
unit
from
being
activated
each
time
a
telephone
call
is
received.
• 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 machine can not be
made.
