MFC SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
Connections
The external TAD must be plugged into the back side of the MFC, into the
jack labeled EXT. Your MFC cannot work properly if you plug the TAD into
a wall jack.
1
Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the back side of the
MFC, in the jack labeled LINE.
2
Plug the telephone line cord from your external TAD into the back side
of the MFC, 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.)
3
Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The MFC’s Ring Delay
setting does not apply).
4
Set the external TAD to answer calls.
5
Record the outgoing message on your external TAD (see below).

Press
Mode
on the MFC until the FAX and FAX/TEL lights are on.
Outgoing Message (OGM)
Timing is important in recording this message.
1
Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This
allows your MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic
transmissions before they stop.)
2
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3
End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for
people sending manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing 51 and
press Start.”
Connecting an External Telephone
Your MFC is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone.
However, you can also connect a separate telephone (or telephone
answering device) directly to your MFC.
Connect the modular plug on the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled
EXT. on the back side of the MFC.
