CHAPTER TWO
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.
1
Place the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your
FAX/MFC.
2
Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your fax machine into the
L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on
the left side of the FAX/MFC.
3
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.
4
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.
