If you have a Pulse dialing service, but need
to send tone signals (for example, for
telephone banking), follow the instructions:
a Press Hook.
b Press # on the machine’s control panel.

Caller ID 5
The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller
ID subscriber service offered by many local
telephone companies. This service displays
the telephone number or name (if available)
of your caller as the line rings. Call your
telephone company for details.
Once you answer a call, the Caller ID
information disappears from the LCD, but the
call information stays stored in the Caller ID
memory.
You can view the Caller ID history and delete
numbers from the list if needed.
You can see the number (or name).
When you are finished with the call, the
machine will return to the Pulse dialing
service.
Fax/Tel mode 5
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring (pseudo/double-ringing) to
alert you to pick up a voice call.
If you are at the extension telephone, you'll
need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring
and then press #51 between the
pseudo/double-rings. If no one is on the line,
or if someone wants to send you a fax, send
the call back to the machine by pressing
l 51.
If you are at the machine, lift the external
telephone’s handset, and then press Hook to
answer.
The # Unavailable message means
the call originated outside your Caller ID
service area.
The Private Call message means the
caller has intentionally blocked
transmission of Caller ID information.
You can print a list of the Caller ID information
received by your machine. (See Printing
Caller ID List on page 17.)
The Caller ID service varies with different
carriers. Call your local telephone
company to find out about the kind of
service available in your area.

Special line considerations 5
Roll-over telephone lines 5
A roll-over telephone system is a group of two
or more separate telephone lines that pass
incoming calls to each other if they are busy.
The calls are usually passed down or “rolled
over” to the next available telephone line in a
preset order.
Your machine can work in a roll-over system
as long as it is the last number in the
sequence so the call cannot roll away. Do not
put the machine on any of the other numbers;
when the other lines are busy and a second
fax call is received, the fax call will be sent to
a line that does not have a fax machine. Your
machine will work best on a dedicated
line.

d After printing has finished, press

Two-line telephone system 5
A two-line telephone system is simply two
separate telephone numbers on the same
wall outlet. The two telephone numbers can
be on separate jacks (RJ11) or mixed into
one jack (RJ14). Your machine must be
plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14
jacks may be equal in size and appearance
and both may contain four wires (black, red,
green and yellow). To test the type of jack,
plug in a two-line telephone and see if it can
access both lines. If it can, you must separate
the line for your machine.

Converting telephone wall outlets 5
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11
jack. The first two ways may require help from
the telephone company. You can change the
wall outlets from one RJ14 jack to two RJ11
jacks. Or, you can have an RJ11 wall outlet
installed and slave or jump one of the
telephone numbers to it.
The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex
adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into
an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two
separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a
third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). If your
machine is on Line 1, plug the machine into
L1 of the triplex adapter. If your machine is on
Line 2, plug it into L2 of the triplex adapter.
Triplex Adapter
5
b Plug one end of the telephone line cord
for your machine into the L2 jack of the
triplex adapter. Plug the other end into
the LINE jack inside the machine.
c 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/L2 jack of the two-line TAD.
d Plug one end of the second telephone
line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of
the two-line TAD. Plug the other end into
the EXT. jack inside the machine.

Installing machine, external two-line TAD and two-line telephone
When you are installing an external two-line
telephone answering device (TAD) and a
two-line telephone, your machine must be
isolated on one line at both the wall jack and
at the TAD. The most common connection is
to put the machine on Line 2, which is
explained in the following steps. The back of
the two-line TAD must have two telephone
jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other
labeled L2. You will need at least three
telephone line cords: the one that came with
your machine and two for your external twoline TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if
you add a two-line telephone.

2 Two-Line Telephone
3 External Two-Line TAD
4 Machine
Your additional two-line telephones on other
5
wall outlets do not require adapters. There
are two ways to add a two-line telephone to
the machine's wall outlet. You can plug the
telephone line cord from the two-line
telephone into the L1+L2 jack of the triplex
adapter. Or, you can plug the two-line
telephone into the TEL jack of the two-line
TAD.

Additional dialing operations
Dialing access codes and credit card numbers 5
Sometimes, you may want to choose from
several long-distance carriers when you send
a fax. Rates may vary depending on the time
and destination. To take advantage of low
rates, you can store the access codes of longdistance carriers and credit card numbers as
Speed Dial numbers. (See Basic User’s
Guide: Storing Speed Dial numbers.)
You can store these long dialing sequences
by dividing them and setting them up as
separate Speed Dial numbers in any
combination.
To temporarily change a number, you can
use the dial pad to manually substitute part of
5
the number. For example, to change the
number to ‘555-7001’, you could enter the
number (#03 ‘555’) using
(Address Book), choose Search,
press OK, press #, 03, and then press ‘7001’
using the dial pad.
If you must wait for another dial tone or
signal at any point in the dialing sequence,
create a pause in the number by pressing
Redial/Pause. Each key press adds a
3.5-second delay. You can press
Redial/Pause as many times as needed
to increase the length of the pause.
5
You can even include manual dialing using
the dial pad.
For example, you might have stored ‘555’ on
Address Book: #03 and ‘7000’ on Address
Book: #02. You can use them both to dial
‘555-7000’ as shown in the following
example:
a Press (FAX).
b Press (Address Book).
c Press a or b to choose Search.
Press OK.
d Enter #, 03.
e Press (Address Book).
f Enter #, 02.
g Press Black Start or Color Start.
You will dial ‘555-7000’.
