   INTRODUCTION

Multi-line connections (PBX)

Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often 
relatively simple to connect the MFC to a key system or a PBX 
(Private Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact the 
company that installed your telephone system and ask them to 
connect the MFC for you. It is advisable to have a separate line for 
the MFC. You can then leave the Receive Mode set to Fax Only to 
receive faxes any time of the day or night.

If the MFC is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer 
to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This prevents the 
unit from being activated each time a telephone call is received.

If you are installing the MFC to work with a PBX

1

It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate properly under all 
circumstances with a PBX. Any cases of difficulty should be 
reported first to the company that handles your PBX.

2

If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, 
it is recommended that the Receive Mode be set to 

Manual

. All 

incoming calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.

Custom features on your phone line

If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, 
RingMaster, an answering service, an alarm system or other custom 
feature on one phone line it may create a problem with the operation 
of your MFC. (See 

Custom features

 on page 1-7 and 

Custom 

features on a single line.

 on page 13-9.)
