PriorityFax 1000 Manual

WARNING

Lift the fax machine by its body, never by the telephone

handset or cradle.

Choosing a Place for the Fax Machine

When you select a location for your fax machine, keep the

following in mind:

Place the fax machine on a flat, stable surface. Select a vibration-free area. Locate the unit near a telephone wall jack and a standard

grounded outlet.

WARNING

Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.

Avoid using electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of power can

wipe out information in the unit’s memory. Avoid using outlets on the same circuit with large

motors or other appliances that might disturb the power supply.

Keep the unit away from potential sources of interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.

Assembling the Fax

Machine

To assemble the fax machine, you need only do the following: Connect the handset

Plug in the line cord Install the output tray and paper rest

Setting Up the PtiotityFax

Connecting the Handset

The first step in assembling the fax machine is attaching the handset to the unit.

Locate the insert opening on the front end of the telephone cradle and plug in one end of the curled handset cord. Push firmly to be sure it is locked.

Connect the other end of the curled handset cord to the end of the handset, as shown below. Be sure that the inserted plug clicks securely in place.

Connecting

the Fax Machine to the Telephone Line

Installing a

telephone connection

single-line

There are two types of single-line and multi-line.

A single-line connection is the preferred solution for installing the fax machine. To hook up to a single-line connection, perform the following steps:

connections

for installing your fax machine:

Plug one end of the telephone line cord (the flat cord) into the back of the fax machine, as shown below.

Plug the other end into your modular telephone wall jack (USOC RJ11C). Make sure both ends of the cord click securely into place.

1-4

Note

If you have the older 4-prong telephone wall jack, you must use a modular 4-prong adapter USOC RJAIX). Plug the adapter into the wail jack, and then plug the telephone cord into the adapter, as shown in the illustration below.

Setting Up the PriorityFax

Installing a multi-line

telephone connection

Installing the Output

Tray and Paper Rest

Installing the output tray

Most offices have key systems or PBXs. Although in many cases it is relatively easy to connect the fax machine to a key system or a PBX, we suggest that you contact the company that installed your organization’s telephone system and ask them to connect the fax machine for you.

It is preferable to have a separate line for the fax machine. This way, you can leave the unit in Automatic Answer mode 24 hours a day and derive full benefit from the fax machine’s unattended operations capabilities.

If the fax machine is connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to connect the fax machine to the last line on the system. This prevents the fax machine from being activated each time a telephone call comes into your office.

There are two types of paper holders for the PriorityFax: the output tray for holding documents sent to you, and the paper rest for holding documents you have just sent to others.

The larger of the two paper holders, the output tray, receives

incoming and copied documents. You can position the

output tray at a 90° angle to the fax machine at the front edge of the table you are using, so that incoming or copied documents fall directly into the output tray.

Note:

Using the output tray is optional. If you install only

the output tray base, you can collect incoming or

copied documents on the table or other surface you

‘are using for the fax machine.

To install the output tray base and the output tray, follow these steps:

Place the output tray base on the table in front of you, with

the tabs on the output tray base pointing away from you. Then insert the wire output tray paper guide into the holes on either side of the output tray base so that the bend in the

wire paper guide points toward you, as shown in the

following illustration.
