now we're going to discuss how to connect a fax machine there are a couple different options you have as far as fax machine goes fax machines go rather the you have multi-function devices which combine you know scanner printer copier fax just all in one device they're usually good inexpensive options especially if space is at a premium in your office another option is a good old-fashioned stand-alone fax machine which has come quite a ways since they first debuted many years ago as far as hooking the fax machine goes it's pretty straightforward the first thing you'll need to do is make sure you've got an available phone jack and a phone cord to connect into that phone jack um keep in mind you might want to check your you'll you'll actually you will want to check the instructions for your fax machine to make sure that it doesn't require a certain type of cable sometimes you have to have a cable with four pins on each end on the connector sometimes you can use one with just two it depends on the fax machine usually it doesn't matter but there are a couple of older ones out there that are that are picky so make sure you check that out the first step is to connect your phone cord to an available phone jack which we've already done here so this phone cord is live it's it's gonna have a connection to the phone line the next thing you'll want to do is go ahead and plug the unit in to an available power power source i would recommend hooking it into a surge protector first once the machine is powered up you'll take the phone connector there are usually two lines on the back two jacks on the back of most fax machines there's a line in jack and an extension jack or phone jack you'll want to hook the phone the line that's coming from the wall into the line jack the second jack the extension jack that is if you want that is for routing a phone if you want to hook up a phone as well to the exact same jack for example if phone jacks are at a premium in your space that way you can run a phone from this one and you'll still be able to use a regular telephone when you're not faxing and on this one this since this is a multi-function unit there's a usb port here as well and that is for using the other functionality like the scanning printing and so forth
