Setting the phone line type

If you are connecting the machine to a line that
features PBX or ISDN to send and receive faxes, it is
also necessary to change the phone line type
accordingly by completing the following steps.

Normal).

PBX and TRANSFER
The machine is initially set to Normal, which lets the
machine connect to a standard PSTN (Public
Switched Telephone Network) line. However, many
offices use a central telephone system or Private
Automatic Branch Exchange (PBX). Your machine
can be connected to most types of PABX. The
machine's recall feature supports timed break recall
only (TBR). TBR will work with most PABX systems
allowing you to gain access to an outside line or send
calls to another extension. The feature works when
the Tel/R key is pressed.
Note
You can program a Tel/R key press as part of a
number stored in a Speed-Dial location. When
programming the Speed-Dial number, press Tel/R
first (the LCD shows '!'), then enter the telephone
number. If you do this, you do not need to press
Tel/R each time before you dial using a
Speed-Dial location.

User's Guide.)
