Multi-line connections (PBX) 7
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. This prevents the
machine being activated each time the
system receives telephone calls. 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.
Note
Make sure the Telephone Line Type is set
to PBX. (See Setting the Telephone Line
Type on page 38.)

Connecting an external or
extension telephone 7
You can connect a separate telephone as
shown in the diagram below.
1 Extension telephone
2 External telephone
When you are using a telephone on the same
phone line, the LCD shows Telephone.
Note
Please make sure you use an external
telephone with a cable no more than
3 metres long.
Operation from extension
telephones 7
If you answer a fax call on an extension or an
external telephone plugged into the correct
socket on the machine, you can make your
machine take the call by using the Remote
Activation Code. When you press the Remote
Activation Code l 51, the machine starts to
receive the fax.
If the machine answers a voice call and fast
double-rings for you to take over, use the
Remote Deactivation Code #51 to take the
call at an extension telephone. (See F/T Ring
Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 36.)
