Use the jack that supports the fax line.

If your wall jack provides one jack for two phone lines, it would be best to use a "2 Line 3 Way Adapter." This adapter can be purchased at most stores that sell electronics. This device creates three plugs where there was one. One jack will be for your voice line. The other jack can be used for your fax transactions. In most cases, line 1 (L1) is used for phone calls; L2 is used of faxing. The third jack (L1+L2) allows access to both lines. This is where you would plug in a 2- line telephone, if available.

First, connect one end of the supplied telephone cord to the telephone jack on the wall.

Next, connect the other end of the supplied telephone cord to the lower jack (labeled "L") on the MX860.









When a call comes in on the fax line, the MX860 will answer the call and begin receiving the fax. You do not have to be home or interact with the MX860 to receive a fax.
