Solution
For the basic connection of the machine, refer to [ Prepare the Machine ]. This guide describes other typical connections.
The machine cannot send/receive faxes if the connection is incorrect. Connect the machine correctly.
IMPORTANT
If the Power Disconnects Unexpectedly
- If there is a power failure or if you accidentally disconnect the power plug, the date/time settings as well as all documents stored in memory will be lost. The settings for user information, one-touch speed dial, coded speed dial, group dial, and rejected numbers will be retained.
If the power disconnects, the following will apply:
- You will not be able to send or receive faxes, make copies, or scan originals.
- When you are connecting the telephone, whether or not you can use it depends upon your telephone line or telephone.
These are examples and could not be guaranteed to suit every connecting condition. For details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the network device (control devices such as an xDSL (Digital Subscriber Line) modem or terminal adapter) you are connecting to this machine.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect fax machines and/or telephones in parallel (US and Canada only)
- If two or more fax machines and/or telephones are connected in parallel, the following problems may occur and the machine may not operate properly.
- If you pick up the handset of the telephone that is connected in parallel during fax transmission or reception, the fax image may be corrupted or a communication error may occur.
- Such services as Caller ID, etc. may not operate properly on the telephone.
- If you cannot avoid parallel connections, set the receive mode to TEL priority mode, understanding that the above problems may occur. You will only be able to receive faxes manually.
NOTE
- xDSL is the generic term for the high speed digital communication technology with telephone line such as ADSL/HDSL/SDSL/VDSL.
Connecting the telephone
- Before connecting a telephone or answering machine, remove the Telephone connector cap.
For users in the UK
- If the connector of the external device cannot be connected to the jack on the machine, you will need to purchase a B.T. adapter to connect as follows: Attach the B.T. adapter to the modular cable connecting the external device, then connect the B.T. adapter to the
(External device) jack.
