CHAPTER ONE
About Fax Machines
If you’re a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little
mysterious. You’ll soon get used to the unusual fax tones on your phone line, and
be able send and receive faxes easily.
Fax Tones and Handshake
When someone is sending a fax, the FAX/MFC sends fax calling tones, (CNG tones)
— soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear them when you dial and
press
sending machine must begin the “handshake” with the receiving machine. Each time
you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the phone
line. You’ll soon learn to listen for these soft beeps each time you answer a phone on
your fax line, so you can know if you are receiving a fax message.
The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones — loud, chirping sounds. A
receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the phone line, and the screen
displays “RECEIVE.” If your FAX/MFC is set to the FAX ONLY Mode, it will answer
every call automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs
up, your FAX/MFC continues to send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds, and the
screen continues to display “RECEIVE.” To cancel the receiving mode, press
Start
, and they continue for about 40 seconds after dialing. During that time, the
Stop
.
When your FAX/MFC is in FAX/TEL (F/T), it answers with a short beep. After this
beep, the FAX/MFC listens for CNG tones, and then responds with receiving tones.
The fax “handshake” is the time in which the sending machine’s CNG tones and
the receiving machines “chirps” overlap. This must be for at least two to four
seconds, so the fax machines can understand how each is sending and receiving
the fax. The handshake cannot begin until the call is answered, and the CNG
tones only last for about 40 seconds after the number is dialed. Therefore, it’s
important for the receiving machine to answer the call in as few rings as possible.
When you have an external telephone answering device (TAD) on your fax line,
your TAD will determine the number of rings before the call is answered. Pay special
attention to the directions in the Installation chapter for connecting a TAD to your
FAX/MFC.

INSTALLATION
Choosing a Location
Place your FAX/MFC on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is
free of vibration and shocks. Locate the machine near a telephone jack and a
standard, grounded power outlet.
Avoid placing your FAX/MFC in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters, air
conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators. Do not expose the FAX/MFC to
direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust. Do not connect your FAX/MFC to
electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of
power can wipe out information in the unit’s memory. Do not connect your FAX/
MFC to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or other
equipment that might disrupt the power supply. Avoid interference sources, such
as speakers or the base units of cordless phones.

*PC I/F jack is for use only with Multi-Func-
tion Link, which is included with the MFC
1870MC and MFC 1970MC, or with the optional software. If you have not purchased the
optional Multi-Function Link (also called
“Missing Link”) for your FAX 1570MC, then
ignore this jack.
Connect the power cord
When you connect the power, the screen displays 01/01 00:00 FAX.
NOTICE:
1) This fax must be grounded using a 3-prong plug.
2) Since the FAX/MFC is grounded through the power outlet, you can protect
yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone line
by keeping the power to your FAX/MFC on when you connect it to a telephone
line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you want to move your machine, by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the power cord.
INSTALLATION
3) Lightning and power surges can damage this product! We recommend that
you use a quality surge protection device on the AC power line as well as on
the telephone line, or unplug the telephone line and electrical cords during a
lightning storm.
Connect the telephone line
Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the jack labeled LINE on the left
side of the FAX/MFC. Connect the other end to a modular wall jack.
Special Line Considerations
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 if they are busy. The calls are usually passed
down or “rolled over” to the next available phone line in a preset order.
11
Your FAX/MFC 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 FAX/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 fax machine. Your FAX/
MFC will work best on a dedicated line.
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 (RJ11) or
combined into one jack (RJ14). Your FAX/MFC must be plugged into an RJ11
jack. RJ11 and RJ14 jacks may be equal in size and appearance and both may
contain 4 wires (black, red, green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in a
two-line phone and see if it can access both lines. If it can, you must separate the
line for your FAX/MFC.
12
CHAPTER TWO
Converting Telephone Wall Outlets
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 receptacle. The first two ways may
require assistance 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 phone 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). Plug the FAX/MFC into Line 2 of
the triplex adapter.

Installing FAX/MFC, 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 FAX/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/MFC on
Line 2. 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 FAX/MFC and two for your external two-line
TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if you add a two-line telephone.
Place the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your FAX/MFC.
1
Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your FAX/MFC into the L2 jack of
2
the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the left side of
the FAX/MFC.
Plug one end of the first telephone line cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of
3
the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the L1 or L1/L2 jack of the
two-line TAD.
INSTALLATION
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 on the left side of
the FAX/MFC.

.
Two Line External TAD FAX/MFC
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/MFC’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.
Two Line Phone
Multi-Line Connections (PBX)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to
connect the FAX/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 FAX/MFC for you. It is advisable to have a separate line
for the FAX/MFC. You can then leave the machine in FAX ONLY Mode to receive
faxes any time of day or night.
See
Easy Receive
pp. 34-35
As with all fax units, this machine must be connected to a two wire system. If your line
If the FAX/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.
has more than two wires, proper connection of the FAX/MFC cannot be made.
If you are installing the FAX/MFC to work with a PBX:
It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all circum-
1
stances with a PBX. Any cases of difficulty should be reported first to the
company that handles your PBX.
14
CHAPTER TWO
If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is
2
recommended that the Answer Mode be set to MANUAL. All incoming calls
should initially be regarded as telephone calls.
The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone service.
3
Custom Features on Your Phone Line
If you have Ring Master, Voice Mail, an answering service, alarm system or any
other custom feature on your telephone line, it may create a problem in the
operation of your FAX/MFC.
Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD)
Sequence
You might choose to connect an additional answering system. When you have an
external TAD on the same telephone line as the FAX/MFC, the TAD answers all
calls. The FAX/MFC “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the
FAX/MFC takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesn’t hear CNG tones, the
FAX/MFC lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can
leave you a voice message.
The TAD must answer within 4 rings (the recommended setting is 2 rings). The
FAX/MFC cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with 4
rings there are only 8-10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax “handshake.”
Make sure you carefully follow instructions in this manual for recording your
outgoing message. Do not use a “toll-saver” ring setting on the TAD.
INSTALLATION
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line—your FAX/MFC and
TAD will both try to control the line.
15
Connections
The external TAD must be plugged into the left side of the FAX/MFC, into the jack labeled
EXT. Your FAX/MFC cannot work properly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack.
Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the left side of the FAX/
1
MFC, in the jack labeled LINE.
Plug the telephone line cord from your TAD into the left side of the FAX/MFC,
2
in the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected to the TAD at the
TAD’s telephone line jack, and not its telephone set jack.)
Set your external TAD to 4 rings or less. (The FAX/MFC’s Ring Delay setting

does not apply).

CHAPTER TWO
Outgoing Message (OGM) on External TAD
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the way your
external TAD handles both manual and automatic fax reception.
Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows
1
your FAX/MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic
transmissions before they stop.)
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.

End your 20-second message by giving your Remote Activation Code for

people sending manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing

regardless of how wide the paper is.
■ Make sure you insert documents face down, top edge first.
■ Adjust the paper guides to fit the width of your document.
■ The automatic document feeder (ADF) can hold up to 20 pages, feeding each
one individually through the FAX/MFC. Use standard (20 lb.) paper when
using the ADF; if you’re using heavier paper, feed each sheet individually to
prevent paper jams.

Distinctive Ringing
This FAX/MFC feature lets you use the Distinctive Ringing subscriber service
offered by some telephone companies, which allows you to have several telephone
numbers on one phone line. Each phone number has its own Distinctive Ringing
pattern, so you know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can
have a separate phone number for your FAX/MFC.
Your FAX/MFC has a Distinctive Ringing function, allowing you to dedicate one
phone number just for receiving faxes. You’ll need to follow the directions below
to “register” the Distinctive Ringing pattern, so your FAX/MFC can recognize its
incoming calls. You will need another person standing by on another line to help
you with Step 6 of this registration.
You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ringing pattern at any time. You can
switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number,
make sure you reset this function.
52
CHAPTER SEVEN
You can register only one Distinctive Ringing pattern with the FAX/MFC. Some
ringing patterns cannot be registered.
■ The FAX/MFC will answer only calls to its registered number.
■ To have your TAD answer only the main number, the FAX/MFC must be in
Manual Mode.
■ In F/T Mode or FAX ONLY, the FAX/MFC will answer all numbers on the
phone line.

Caller ID
The Caller ID feature of this FAX/MFC lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service
offered by many local phone companies. This service provides you, by means of
the screen display, the name or telephone number of your caller as the line rings.
After two rings, the screen displays the telephone number of your caller (or name,
if available). Once you pick up the handset, the Caller ID information disappears
from the screen, but the call information remains stored in the Caller ID memory.
■ You will see the first 16 characters of the number or name.
■ OUT-OF-AREA display means call originates outside your Caller ID service area.
■ PRIVATE CALL display means the caller has intentionally blocked
transmission of information.

Polling
Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine. You can use
your FAX/MFC to “poll” other machines, or you can have someone poll your
machine.
All parties involved in polling need to set up their fax machines to accommodate
polling. When someone polls your FAX/MFC to receive a fax, they pay for the call;
if you poll someone’s fax machine to receive a fax, you pay for the call.
Some fax machines do not respond to the polling function.

Message Center Pro
Message Center Pro works as an additional enhancement of Message Center and
provides you with Personal Mailbox and Voice-on-Demand. Up to five Personal
Mailboxes are available. Voice-on-Demand stores voice information messages for
someone calling you. These memory boxes allow you to store voice messages that
provide callers with more information automatically and effectively, so you don’t
have to answer the call yourself.
73
Start with a Plan
Before you can record your outgoing messages (OGMs), you need a plan. Decide
what you will store in each Voice Information memory box such as directions to
your home or business, and the number you will give it. Choose who will have a
personal mailbox. Tell each person with a personal mailbox to prepare to record
an OGM and choose a four-digit password.
Prepare one 2nd Level OGM that identifies the type of information in each Voice
Information memory box number and another 2nd Level OGM that identifies the
name and box number of each person with a Personal Mailbox.
Finally, prepare a 1st Level OGM that identifies your company (or family) and
directs callers to either Voice-on-Demand (Voice Information) or Personal
Mailboxes. Also explain they can just leave a general voice message or send a
general fax after the beep.

advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be
informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
