Special line considerations

Roll Over phone lines

A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate
telephone lines that pass incoming calls to each other if they are
busy. The calls are usually passed down or "rolled over" to the next
available phone line in a preset order.
The fax machine can work in a roll over system as long as it is the
last number in the sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not put
the fax machine on any of the other numbers; when the other lines
are busy and a second fax call is received, the fax call would be
transferred to a line that does not have a fax machine. The fax
machine will work best on a dedicated line.

Two-Line phone system

A two-line phone system is nothing more than two separate phone
numbers on the same wall outlet. The two phone numbers can be on
separate jacks (RJ11) or combined into one jack (RJ14). Your
machine must be plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14 jacks
may be equal in size and appearance and both may contain four
wires (black, red, green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in a
two-line phone and see if it can access both lines. If it can, you must
separate the line for the fax machine. (See Easy Receive on page
5-5.)
