How to Add a Fax to a Single Qwest Phone Line
- 1). Connect your phone splitter to any phone jack. Plug in your phone on one side of the splitter and your phone cord on the other side.
- 2). Locate the line in port on your fax machine; this will be labeled as such, or have an icon of a phone jack. Plug the other end of the phone cord into this port.
- 3). Set your fax machine to manual receive, or simply take it off of automatic reception. This varies wildly by fax machine; usually there's a button on the front panel of the machine, or there's a setting that can be changed within the setup menu. Check your fax machine's manual for more information.
- 4). Use your phone and send faxes as you would if they were on single lines. To receive a fax, have the sender call before the fax is sent. Then, when the phone rings, push the button to start the fax, or the send button, to start receiving. Your fax will disconnect when its complete.
