2. To use a telephone or answering machine, you need a second phone cable.
Connect one end of the cable to the telephone or answering machine, and
connect the other end to the

rings needed for the answering machine to pick up.
When you receive a call, if the other party is a fax and you pick up the phone or
the answering machine answers, the WorkForce 500 Series automatically begins
receiving the transmission. If the other party is a caller, the phone can be used as
normal or a message can be left on the answering machine.
Note:
A phone or answering machine must be connected to the EXT. port for the
WorkForce 500 Series to detect an incoming fax call when a phone is picked up. If a fax
call comes in, and you pick up the phone without having a phone or answering machine
connected to the EXT. port, the call will be disconnected when you hang up and the
WorkForce 500 Series will not receive the fax.
