Recording the TAD's Outgoing Message (OGM)
The TAD's outgoing message is important because it must be set up to handle two
kinds of fax receptions: automatic and manual. Timing is important.
1. Record 5 seconds of silence as the beginning ofyour message. (Your MFC machine
will be able to hear the fax calling tones, ofautomatic fax transmissions, before they
stop.)
2. Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3. End your 20 second message by giving your Remote Activation Code for people
sending manual faxes:
"After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing $51."
NOTE: Do not assume that most callers send faxes automatically. Many people do not
realize they are not sending fax tones when they lift the handset or press the
Hook key. Also, some machines may not send fax tones.

F. Connecting to Different Types of Phone Lines
FORYOUR INFORMATION
Roll Over Phone Lines
A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines
that pass incoming calls to each other ifthey are busy. 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 the last
number in the sequence so the call can not 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 MFC.
Two Line Phone System
A two line phone system is nothing more than two separate phone numbers
on the same wall outlet. The two phone numbers can be on separate jacks
(RJ 1l) or combined into one jack (RJ 14). Your MFC must be plugged into an
RJ 11jack. RJ 11and RJ14jacks may be equal in size and appearance and both
may contain 4 wires (black, red, green, yellow). To test the type ofjack, plug
in a two line phone and see if it can access both lines. If it can, you must
separate the lines for your MFC.
Converting Telephone Wall Outlets
There are three ways to convert to an RJll receptacle. The first two ways
may require assistance from the telephone company. You can change the
wall outlet from one RJ 14jack 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 tLll4 wall outlet. It will separate the
wires into two separate RJll jacks (line 1, line 2) and a third RJ14 jack
dines 1 and 2). Plug the fax machine into L2 of the triplex adapter.

_R YOURINI_ORMATION
Installing a MFC, Two Line TAD and Two Line Telephone
When you are installing a two line telephone answering device (TAD) and
a two line telephone, your MFC 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 MFC 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 MFC. Plug one
end of the telephone line cord for your MFC into the L2 jack of the triplex
adapter; plug the other end into the LINE jack in the back of the MFC. 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 L2jack in the back
of the two line TAD. Plug one end of the second telephone line cord for your
TAD into the L2jack in the back ofthe two line TAD; plug the other end into
the EXTjack in the back ofthe MFC. 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 MFC's wall outlet. Plug the
telephone line cord from the two line telephone into the LI+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.

MECHANICAL SETIINGS
FORYOUR INFORMATION
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 that you contact the company that installed your
telephone system and ask them to connect the machine for you.
It is advisable to have a separate line for the machine. You can then leave
the machine in Fax Mode to receive faxes at any time of the day or night.
If the 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 phone
system. If your line has more than two wires, proper connection of the
machine can not be made.
Connecting to a Private Branch Exchange
The following points should be kept in mind if you are installing the
machine to work with a private branch exchange(PBX).
1)It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all
circumstances with PBXs. 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 Answer Mode be set to Manual. (See page 6-1-2
ofthe Operation sManual.) All incoming calls should initi ally be regarded
as telephone calls.
3)The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone types.
Custum Features on Your Phone Line
If you have Call Waiting, Ring Master, Voice Mail, an Answering Service,
Alarm System or any other custom calling feature on your telephone line,
it may create a problem in operation of your MFC.

What Does the Remote Printer Console Do?
The Remote Printer Console (RPC) is a utility program that can run in the DOS
environment and comprises the following two programs:
Remote Printer Console Main Program
This program allows you to change various printer settings such as emulation, print
quality, fonts, page setup etc., from your computer screen. Since most DOS applications
have a printer settings menu that overrides the settings made by the RPC, you may
not have to use this utility program. This utility program is useful for application
software that does not control the printer's settings and features.
Printer Status Monitor Program
This utility program can monitor your printer's status using bidirectional parallel
communications. If your MFC has no paper, this utility program displays "Paper
Empty" error status and instructions for corrective action on your computer screen.
This utility program stays resident in your computer memory (Terminate-and-Stay
Resident program) and runs in the background.
Installing the Remote Printer Console
Before you install the program, make sure you have the following hardware and
software to install the program:
DOS Version 3.3 or later
Monitor EGAWGA or compatible
Option Mouse; the mouse driver must be installed.
(You can also operate the program with the keyboard.)
Follow these steps to install the remote printer console program:
l. Make sure your MFC is connected to your computer and it is set to on-line.
2. Start your computer and go to the DOS prompt. If you are in Windows@, exit and
return to the DOS prompt.
3. Insert the supplied disk into your floppy disk drive (A: or B:).

HelpfulHints
The RPC works in the environment where your MFC is directly
connected to your computer. If you are using any printer buffer
switches that do not support bidirectional communication between
the MFC and computer, the program works only in the PC to MFC
direction and can not receive MFC status information.
The program does not work with MFCs on a network.
If the RPC conflicts with some application software, exit your
application software and then run the RPC.
The RPC may work in the DOS-compatible box screen mode of
Windows@. However, it is recommended that you completely exit
from Windows@ to the DOS prompt before using the RPC.
The Printer Status Monitor and some other Terminate-and-Stay
programs can not coexist in the computer's memory. If they don't
work properly together, use them one at a time. You can suspend the
Printer Status monitor with any of the following methods or
commands.
Type C:\RPCX>STMX/R and press the Enter key. Hold the space
bar down while executing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file at DOS startup
to prevent the status monitor from being loaded as a TSR program.
