Operations Required to Use Fax Functions
Checking the modular cable connection
Check that a modular cable is connected between the LINE port and the appropriate telephone line. Use LINE port 1 if only one line is operating.
The illustration shows a unit with optional FAX Kit FK-511, FAX Kit FK-508, and Fax Mount Kit MK-728 installed. FAX3 (LINE port 3) and FAX4 (LINE port 4) can be used on North American models because these models support FAX Kit FK-508 and Fax Mount Kit MK-728.
If multiple lines are used, modular cables are required according to the number of lines to be used.
Use the TEL port for connecting a telephone cord. Even if multiple lines are used, connect a telephone cord to TEL port 1. A telephone cord cannot be connected to the TEL port on the additional line side.
