PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE REMOVING THE UNIT FROM THE PACKING CARTON
The Brother FAX-195 is designed to operate in an office environment or at home, it is rugged,
reliable and virtually maintenance-free. However, to ensure years of trouble-free performance,
please observe the following precautions:
Do not locate the unit near heaters, air conditioners, in direct sunlight or in extremely
dusty environments.
• Install the unit on a flat level surface, such as a desk, a table, a typewriter or computer
stand.
• Do not locate the unit where water or chemicals are likely to splash on it.
• Select a vibration-free area of your office.
• Locate the unit within 3 feet from a telephone wall jack.
• Locate the unit within 3 feet of a standard, grounded outlet.
• Avoid plugging in the unit into an outlet which is on the same line as an air conditioner,

Page 9
INSTALLING THE UNIT
I. SINGLE-LINE TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS
The simplest way to connect the Brother FAX-195 unit to the public switched telephone
network (phone company lines) is to use a single telephone line. The connection is particularly
simple if you have a modular wall jack. The most common modular jack is referred to as the
USOC RJ11C jack. If you have such a jack, follow the instructions below. If your wall jack is
not modular, it is very easy to convert the wall plug to a modular form. Conversion kits are
available from your local phone company, an electronics / computer store (e.g.. Radio Shack) or
the AT&T Phone Center stores.
To connect your FAX-195 to the telephone line, follow these steps:
• Connect one end of the curled handset cord to the handset and the second end to the
jack on the side of the facsimile unit.
• Take the telephone cord which is also included in the carton and connect one of its
plugs to the jack in the back of the FAX-195 unit and the second plug to your modular
wall jack (USOC RJ11C). Now, the FAX-195 is connected to the telephone network.
Please see the illustration below for the telephone connections.
NOTE: If you have a MODULAR PHONE JACK (USOC RJ11C), simply plug the supplied
phone cord into the wall jack.
If you have the older 4-PRONG JACK, you must use a modular 4-prong adapter USOC RJA1X.
Plug the adapter into the wall jack and then plug the phone cord into the adapter. This is
illustrated below.

Page 10
II. MULTI-LINE TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS
Most offices have key systems or PBXs. While in many cases it is relatively easy to connect the
FAX-195 to a key system or a PBX, we suggest that you contact the organization which
installed your company's telephone system and ask them to connect the FAX-195 to the
system. If the FAX-195 is connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to connect the
FAX-195 to the last line on the system. This way, the FAX-195 will not be activated by every
phone call coming into your office. The preferred solution is to ask the phone company to
assign a separate line to the facsimile unit. In this case, you can leave the unit in Automatic
Answer Mode 24 hours a day and derive full benefits from its automatic, unattended operations
capabilities.
III.ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The FAX-195 can be plugged into any standard power (110 VAC) outlet. Simply make sure that
the outlet is grounded and that it is not on the same line as appliances or office machines which
tend to draw a lot of power in a very short period of time, such as refrigerators, copiers, etc.
The FAX-195 power requirements are listed in the SPECIFICATIONS.
"CAUTION: BOTH ICM AND OGM MESSAGES WILL BE ERASED IN THE EVENT OF A
POWER INTERRUPTION. CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED WHEN UNPLUGGING THE UNIT
OR TURNING OFF THE UNIT'S MAIN POWER SWITCH."
IV. INSERTING THE RECORDING PAPER ROLL INTO THE UNIT
Before reading the instructions for inserting the recording paper into the unit, please consider
these important notes:
NOTE 1 : The recording paper is heat-sensitive. Avoid exposure to high temperature, high
humidity or direct sunlight. Keep the received documents (or copied documents) away from
high temperature, direct sunlight, high humidity, alcohol, blueprints. Otherwise the documents
may become discolored.
NOTE 2: The use of Brother Recording Paper is specifically recommended for this unit. The use
of paper not authorized by Brother may adversely affect the unit's performance and may void
Brother's product warranty.
Brother Recording paper has a red stripe indicator. Its appearance on your received or copied
documents is a warning that the paper roll will be running out shortly. Replace the paper roll
when you see the red stripe. Furthermore, Brother Recording paper has a black stripe at the
end of the roll. If you had not changed the paper at the appearance of the red stripe, the unit
will auto-matically stop when the black stripe appears. This feature works only with Brother
Recording paper on Brother facsimile units. Please note that Brother recording paper rolls are
overwound (i.e., contain extra paper) so that you are not wasting paper when you remove the
roll when the indicator appears.
"CAUTION: BOTH ICM AND OGM MESSAGES WILL BE ERASED IN THE EVENT OF A
POWER INTERRUPTION. CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED WHEN UNPLUGGING THE UNIT
OR TURNING OFF THE UNIT'S MAIN POWER SWITCH."
Page 11
To insert the paper roll, follow these directions:
1. Press the recording paper cover button which is located at the right edge of the top of
the machine. This opens the cover.
2. Hold the recording paper roll so that the free end of the paper points towards you
from the top of the roll.
Be sure not to set the recording paper upside-down. If this happens, you will not get
any images on reception or copying.
3. Simply drop in the paper into the unit. There is no need to thread paper! Make sure
that approximately 4 inches (10 cm) of paper protrudes from the unit.
4. Push the cover shut until you hear a click.
5. Cut off excess paper pulled out from the unit by tearing it off in one smooth movement
against the cutting edge of the paper cover.
This process is illustrated below.

1. Insert the original document face down into the unit's scanner, aligning the document’s
left edge with the document guide.
2. Set the contrast switch (bottom front of the unit) to match the image density of the
original (D for dark original, N for normal original and L for light original).
3. The FAX-195 offers three levels of RESOLUTION - STANDARD (used for
typewrittenand typeset text and line drawings), FINE (used for newprint and detailed
drawings andPHOTO (for photographs). The PHOTO mode offers sixteen (16) levels
of grey scale for excellent reproduction of photographs. Piease note that the use of
the PHOTO mode, while yielding superior quality copies of photographs, is quite a bit
slow. Use this mode only when warranted.
4. Press the START/COPY button on the front panel. The START/COPY lamp will
light. The unit will automatically select the FINE mode (the FINE lamp will light), unless
you've pressed the FINE/PHOTO button to achieve the sixteen (16)levels of grey scale
reproduction (in this case, the PHOTO and FINE lamps will light). The unit will
automaticallty start drawing the original through the scanner and the copy will start
emerging from the slot in the front of the unit. After the copying is completed, the unit
will emit a beep and you can tear off the copy. The original will have by now emerged
on the other side of the scanner.
Do not cut the recording paper whiie copying because you may affect the copied image.
Copy one document at a time! If you wish to copy more than one page, wait until you
hear the short beep after the previous document has been copied. Insert the new
document and press the START/COPY button again.
Do not copy very thick pages (over 0.15mm thick).
Do not copy wrinkled, wet, curled or torn documents.
Do not copy documents printed on thick photographic paper, metal or textile.
Do not copy documents that are too thin (tissue paper, tracing paper, etc.)
Remove all staples and paper clips from the documents to be copied.
Do not copy documents held together by scotch tape.
Do not copy carbon paper.
Do not copy documents whose surface is slippery.
Use copies duplicated by this machine as temporary copies only. If it is necessary to
store a copy for a long time, use a copier to reproduce the original document or the
copy made by this machine).
NOTE: The FAX-195 can function as a telephone while copying is in progress.

BASIC FACSIMILE FUNCTIONS -
TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION
I. TRANSMISSION OF DOCUMENTS
1. Insert the original document face down into the unit's scanner, aligning the document's
left edge with the document guide. The unit will pull the original partly into the scanner.
Insert one original sheet at a time! (see 4-f below).
2. Set the contrast switch (bottom front of the unit) to match the image density of the
original (D for dark, N for normal, L for light original, respectively).
3. Specify the FINE or PHOTO mode by pressing the FINE/PHOTO button. Unless you
specify either of these modes, the unit will automatically select the NORMAL mode
Please note that NORMAL offers the fastest transmission speed, followed by FINE
and then the PHOTO (the slowest).
4. Pick up the handset. After you hear the dial tone, dial the other party's number.
(a) If a voice answers, ask the other party to activate manual fax reception (if the
other unit is a Brother unit, the other party will push the START/COPY
button; if it is not a Brother unit, the other party may have to follow a
different procedure).
(b) If the other unit is set to automatic facsimile reception, you will hear the fax
ready tone. Press the START/COPY button. The START/COPY lamp will
light up. As the transmission starts, the lamp will stay on until completion.
(c) When the transmission is undenway, replace the handset in its cradle.
(d) The original document will be pulled through the scanner.
(e) When a page is transmitted, the unit will emit a short beep.
(f) To transmit more than one page, wait for the short beep referred to in (e) and
feedin the next page. If no new document is fed into a scanner following the
short beep, a long beep will sound signifying the termination of the
transmission mode. The unit will release the phone line.
You can use the REDIAL button for automatically redialing the last number dialed (if, for
instance, it was busy when you first tried transmitting the document). To use this feature,
simply press the REDIAL button.
You may dial a number with the handset in its cradle. This can be done by pressing the HOOK
button and then dialing the number.
IMPORTANT TRANSMISSION INFORMATION:
• Transmit papers one at a time.
• Do not transmit very thick pages (over 0.15mm thick). If you have to transmit such
pages, use a photocopier (not the FAX-195) to make a copy and transmit the copy
instead.
• Do not transmit wrinkled, wet, curled or torn documents. Make a photocopy and
transmit it instead.
• Do not transmit documents printed on thick photographic paper, metal or textile. Make
a photocopy and transmit it instead.
Page 15

Do not transmit documents that are too thin (tissue paper, tracing paper, etc.) The
thinnest paper suitable for transmission is 0.055mm. Make a photocopy and transmit it
instead.
Remove all staples and paper clips from the documents to be transmitted.
Do not transmit documents held together by scotch tape. Photocopy them and
transmit the photocopy.
Do not transmit carbon papers. Make a photocopy and transmit it instead.
Do not transmit documents with slippery surfaces. Make a photocopy and transmit it.
Page 16
10
II. RECEPTION OF DOCUMENTS
The FAX-195 can receive manually or automatically. The choice is made by using the switch
marked AUTO ANS (lower front end of the unit). The OFF position switches the unit to manual
reception and the ON position allows automatic reception.
A. Manual Reception
When the AUTO ANS switch is in the OFF position, the following should be done when the
phone rings:
1. Lift the handset.
2. If you hear a series of fax beeps, you'll know that a fax message is coming in.
3. Press the START/COPY button. The START/COPY lamp will light up. As the
reception gets underway, the lamp will stay on. You may replace the handset in its
cradle. The paper will start coming out of the slot.
4. When the reception is completed, the unit will emit a long beep.
5. Cut the recording paper with the received image. Make sure to do so only after the
long beep so as not to affect the quality of the received image.
B. Automatic Reception
When the AUTO ANS switch is in the ON position, the following will occur:
1. The unit will receive the fax message automatically after one (1) ring. If you wish the
unit to receive the fax message after six (6) rings, you have to program the User
Switch to affect this change. This simple operation is explained on page 17.
2.The START/COPY lamp will light up. As the reception gets underway, the lamp will
tay on. The paper will start coming out of the slot.
3. When the reception is completed, the unit will emit a long beep.
4. Cut the recording paper with the received image. Make sure to do so only after the
long beep so as not to affect the quality of the received image.
NOTE: Remove a jammed document from the machine by opening the recording paper cover.
Otherwise the receive operation will fail.
Page 17
11
III. PASSWORD COMMUNICATION
The FAX-195 has a password code feature. If your unit's password switch (lower front) is set,
and so is the sender's or receiver's switch, and the two passwords do not match, it is
impossible to receive or send a facsimile message. The password code feature is useful in
insuring the confidentiality of facsimile communication and in preventing an influx of fax "junk
mail." However, if set, it will inhibit the reception/transmission from/to non-Brother units and
from/to non-Brother units with a different password code. Therefore, unless strictly necessary,
we recommend that the password switch be left in the OFF position.
The programming of your password will be explained later.
NOTE: When you send a document in password mode, the alarm may sound in the following
cases:
(1) The receiver's facsimile unit does not have a password function
(2) The two paswords do not match
(3) You called a wrong number (a variant of the first case)
(4) The password switch of the receiving facsimile is set in the OFF position.
Page 18
12
FACSIMILE-RELATED PROGRAMMING OPERATIONS
Unlike most other facsimile units in this class and price range, the FAX-195 allows the user to
program certain facsimile functions and parameters. These are:
I. The FAX Password Code (for password communication discussed above).
II. Remote Terminal Identification (RTI) / Transmit Terminal Identification (TTI) telephone
number. This is the number that appears on the top of the page when the other party
receives your message.
III. The Station ID (name or identifying numbers). This appears on the top of the page
when the other party receives your facsimile communication.
IV. User-selectable parameter settings (User-selectable Switches)
Telephone and TAD (Telephone Answering Device)-related programming is discussed in the
subsequent section.
The programming is done using one or more of the following buttons:

III. SETTING THE STATION ID
A brand-new unit does not come with a pre-registered Station ID. You can register up to fifty
(50) aipha-numeric characters for this ID. You can register a mixture of letters and numbers,
e.g., XYZ Co. District 13, or you can register ail letters or all numbers. Here is an example of
how you can register an ail-character ID - "BROTHER U.S.A.".
As shown on page 12, the process of registering the STATION ID starts by pressing the
FINE/PHOTO button three (3) times in step 3. The following steps are:

TELEPHONE AND ANSWERING MACHINE FEATURES
I. HOW TO USE THE FAX-195 AS A TELEPHONE
The FAX-195 possesses very sophisticated telephone capabilities. Yet, these capabilities are
easy to use.
Please note that the FAX-195 can be used for voice conversation even when the unit is set to
automatic facsimile answer mode or when the unit is copying a document.
A. Telephone Controls
All numbers are dialed from the numeric key pad on the control panel of the FAX-195. This pad
Is Identical to the standard touch-tone telephone dial.
The four buttons to the left of the telephone key pad are used (from the top) as follows:
• PAUSE - When pressed, a 3.7 second pause is generated. This button
has other uses in telephone-related programming (see below).
REDIAL - Pressing this button makes the phone automatically redial the
last number dialed. This button has additional uses (see below).
SPEED DIAL -
HOOK
The other telephone-related controls are located at the back of the unit:
• PULSE/TONE Selects rotary vs. tone mode of operation
• RINGER VOLUME Offers three settings - High, Medium, Low
• SPEAKER VOLUME This control provides continuous volume adjustment from
B. Using the handset
The handset of the FAX-195 is used just like any other handset of a standard telephone.
Please note the volume adjustment switch on the inside of the handset.
Presssing this button initiates speed dial calls. This key Is also
used to program the speed dial numbers into the unit's memory.
Pressing this button allows you to initiate phone and fax calls
while the handset is on-hook. The built-in speaker (under the
handset) allows hands-off operation of the FAX-195 while
dialing. This button has other uses (as we've discussed in
facsimile-related programming). Please note, however, the
FAX-195 is NOT a "speaker phone!"
HIGH (H) to LOW (L).
Page 26
20
C. Standard dialing
There are two ways to dial a telephone call or a fax call:
1. OFF-HOOK — Lift the handset, dial the number after hearing the dial tone.
2. ON HOOK — Make sure that the unit's power is ON. Press the HOOK button and you
can dial with the handset in its cradle after hearing the dial tone from the speaker. The
speaker is located under the handset.
D. Using the redial function
Redialing can be performed only immediately following a dialing (i.e., after you’ve dialed using
OFF-HOOK, ON-HOOK or Speed Dialing). The redial memory accepts up to 31 digits in TONE
mode or 32 digits in PULSE mode. If the number you've dialed has more than these numbers of
digits, redial will not work.
If you wish to keep the number you are dialing confidential and do not wish anyone to call it
after you leave the office or your desk unattended, simply press the redial buttom twice after
completion of dialing. The redial function will not function.
E. Speed Dialing
The FAX-195 allows you to program and use up to twenty (20) pre-recorded numbers of 16
digits (in pulse mode) or 15 digits (in the tone mode) each. If you need more digits, say for
credit card calls or international calls, you can program and use more than one location for this
longer number because the FAX-195 allows "chain dialing" (i.e, pressing several speed-dial codes
in sequence).
To program your most frequently-used telephone and fax numbers follow this procedure:
1. With the handset ON HOOK (in the cradle), press the SPEED DIAL button.
2. Dial the desired telephone or fax number (up to 15 digits in TONE MODE, up to 16
digits in PULSE mode).
3. Press the SPEED DIAL button again.
4. Assign this number a two-digit code, starting with 00 and going up to 19 (this covers
the entire 20 allowable numbers). Dial in this 2-digit code.
5. You can stop now or continue inputting the remainder of your frequently-used numbers
by returning to Step 1.
To use the speed-dialing feature of this unit, follow this procedure:
1. Lift the handset or press the HOOK button.
2. Press the SPEED DIAL button after hearing the dial tone.
3. Dial the 2-digit code for the desired number.
To erase a programmed speed-dial number, follow this procedure:
1. Press the SPEED DIAL button twice
2. Press the 2-digit code for the number you wish to erase from the memory.
Page 27
21
F. Using the PAUSE button
If communicating from a PBX extension, the PAUSE button should be used. Pressing PAUSE
key between the numbers builds in 3.7 seconds delay needed to access the PBX's second dial
tone. If a longer time is needed, such as in case of overseas calls, pressing the PAUSE button
several times can stack a number of pauses (e.g., pressing it twice will give you 3.7 sec. x 2 =
7.4 sec. delay).
Pressing the PAUSE button, the REDIAL button or flipping the PULSE/TONE switch during a
redial operation or a speed-dialing operation releases the pause. Using the same controls once
can also release a multiple stacked pause.
II. THE MEMO FEATURE
Your FAX-195 provides you with an ability to record a voice memo which can be used by you as
a memory-jogger or be accessed by a member of your family or a co-worker when you are out.
A. Recording the memo
To record a memo follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the TAD (Telephone Answering Device) is OFF (check this by looking at
the TAD lamp to make sure it is OFF).
2. Press the MESSAGE and RECORD buttons simultaneously. A short beep (1 sec.) will
be heard and the MESSAGE and RECORD lamps will flash. You may release the
MESSAGE button but keep the RECORD button depressed while you are recording
the memo. If the message memory is full (see the section on ICM below), you will hear
an alarm.
3. When you hear a beep, you can start recording your memo (without releasing the
RECORD button). The recording time available for messages is variable (see the section
on ICM below). Five seconds before your allotted time runs out both the MESSAGE
and the RECORD lamps will start flashing faster.
B. Accessing the memo
Since the MEMO and the telephone messages recorded by the TAD utilize the same memory,
the method of retrieving a recorded memo is identical to that of retrieving a telephone message.
This procedure is described below (lll-C).
Please note that the MESSAGE lamp provides the following information:
No callers' messages or memos recorded
Memo(s)/Messages recorded
ICM memory is full
The lamp is OFF.
The lamp is ON.
The lamp is flashing.
Page 28
22
III. USING THE TELEPHONE ANSWERING DEVICE (TAD)
A. Recording the Outgoing Message (OGM)
• Press the TAD button
• Press the RECORD button. You will hear a short beep. This button must be held
depressed for the entire time while you are recording the outgoing message. The
RECORD lamp will start blinking. You have 16 seconds in which to record the OGM
(outgoing message). During the last 5 seconds the lamp will blink rapidly. After the 16
seconds the unit will beep again and will stop recording the message. Of course, the
recording will stop prior to 16 seconds if you release the RECORD button.
The FAX-195 is unique among facsimile machines in that a caller, even with a fax message can
hear your voice (provided the TAD is ON). This is illustrated in the sample OGM below:
"This is (your name / company name). Sorry, we are not available now. Leave a
messageafter the tone. You have 16 seconds for your message. If you wish to send us
a facsimile message, push the STAR (*) button on your telephone keypad when you
hear our message or simply hit the START button after the second tone."
NOTE: The OGM can say "28 seconds" instead of "16 seconds" or whatever number you've
selected. The method of selection is discussed below. The timing (i.e., 28 seconds or 16
seconds) refers to the length of the ICM - the incoming message, i.e., the message left by a
caller on your TAD.
When the caller presses the STAR (*) button within five (5) seconds after hearing your OGM,
the FAX-195 will change from TAD mode to facsimile mode. If the STAR (*) button is not
pushed, the unit will beep and the caller can record a message. After the caller's message is
recorded, the unit beeps again and the unit goes into the fax mode. If no fax message is
forthcoming within 30 seconds, the FAX-195 releases the phone line.
If you are present while all of the above is going on, you can hear the entire above operation
using the monitor mode through the speaker.
The TAD function of the FAX-195 is an enhancement of the unit's facsimile capabilities. Even
though the unit cannot record very long messages (as can be done on traditional answering
machines), the FAX-195 offers remarkable flexibility with a high quality TAD. Since the initial
connection is the most expensive part of the phone call, the roll-over from TAD to FAX saves
money because it allows TAD and facsimile functions to be performed on one phone call.
B. Playback of the OGM
To verify that you've recorded an appropriate message, press the TAD button. The TAD lamp
will light. The OGM message will be heard over the unit's speaker. If you are dissatisfied with
the message, simply press the RECORD button and the unit will be available for re-recording of
the message.
Page 29
23
C. Playing back the callers' messages and voice memos
If someone called your unit and left a message or you and/or a member of your family or
someone in your office left a voice memo, the MESSAGE lamp will light. To retrieve the
message, disengage the TAD by pressing the TAD button (to check this, see whether the TAD
lamp is OFF). Then press the MESSAGE button. You will hear the recorded message through
the unit's speaker. If there is more than one message, the unit will emit a 3-second beep
between messages.
To skip to the next message, press the MESSAGE button while a message is playing. The unit
will emit a 1-second beep before the next message.
If you need to stop the playback of a caller's message or a memo, press MESSAGE and STOP
buttons during the playback or during the beeping between the messages or memos.
If you had to stop listening to recorded messages during a message-separating beep, and you
now wish to resume listening, you can do so in two different ways:
1. Pressing the MESSAGE button once will play back the messages from the top of the
very first message.
2. Pressing the MESSAGE and START/COPY buttons together will let you resume the
playback just before the point where you've stopped earlier.
If you had to stop listening to playback in the middle of a message —
1. Pressing the MESSAGE button will start you off at the very beginning of the recorded
messages.
2. Pressing the MESSAGE and the START/COPY button will start you off with the
message which was interrupted.
D. Erasing the messages/memos
Make sure that the TAD switch is OFF.
To erase a message or a memo press the FINE/PHOTO and RECORD buttons simultaneously
while the message or memo is playing or during the beep following this message. You will hear a
1 -second beep and the message or memo will be erased.
To erase all messages or memos, press FINE and RECORD buttons when the message or rmemo
is not playing. You will hear a 3-second beep.
E. Remote operation of the TAD
The messages recorded on your FAX-195 TAD can be retrieved from any touch-tone tele-phone,
provided, you know the security code (to be described below in F). This is how the remote
operation works:
1. Dial the telephone number of your FAX-195 unit.
2. When you hear the OGM (your Outgoing Message), press the # button repeatedly until
you hear a short beep (1 second).
3. Dial in the 3-digit Security Code within 15 seconds of hearing the beep. If the code is
correct, you will hear a short beep (1 second). If the code is incorrect, you will hear a
series of short beeps. Try again!
Page 30
24
IMPORTANT NOTE: If there are no messages on your TAD, you will hear a series of short
beeps.
Now, you are ready to request the FAX-195's TAD to perform some functions. These functions

How to change the number of ICM
The unit can record a total of 112 seconds of messages and memos. The factory setting breaks
up this up into seven (7) messages of 16 sec. each. It is possible, however, that you would
prefer longer messages or shorter messages. Since the total time must stay as 112 seconds,
the longer the message the smaller the number of messages. The table below summarizes your
choices:

NOTE: You can use numbers 3 - 8 for FAX-195.
H. The TAD and the auto-receive functions
If you have not set both, the TAD and the AUTO ANSWER functions on your FAX-195 and
someone is calling your unit, these units will, after 15 rings:
• Enter the TAD mode after 15 rings if the OGM is recorded and the ICM is not full. The
OGM will start after 15 rings. After completion of this call, the unit will revert to its
original status - no TAD and no AUTO ANSWER.
or
Enter the AUTO ANSWER mode if the OGM is not recorded or the ICM is full.
I. Toll-saver feature
This function works on the FAX-195 in the TAD mode as follows. The unit's TAD will answer
your call on:
• 5 rings if there is no message - then, after 5 rings the OGM will go on. Thus, unless
you wish to record a message on your unit via the remote TAD feature, you can hang up
before the 5-th ring and save the cost of a completed phone call.
• 2 rings if there is a message or messages. The OGM will start after 2 rings and you can
use remote control procedures to pick up the message.
• 2 rings if the ICM is full. Then, after 2 rings. Auto Answer will go on.
J. The auto-page function
The FAX-195 has a unique feature - the Auto Page Function. This feature makes it possible to
have your FAX-195 page you at an assigned telephone number every time it receives a message.
This switch is located on the back of the unit. To utilize this capability:
1. Record the telephone number at which you wish to be paged as the 19-th speed dial
number. Only one PAUSE can be entered in this telephone number for Auto Page.
2. Turn the Auto Page Switch ON and the PAGE lamp will go on. When a message
comes into your FAX-195, it dials the number which you have recorded and when you
pick up the receiver you will hear short beeps. Give the system 15 seconds and then
pick up the message (ICM) using the remote playback feature. Note that the auto
paging call will ring up to 15 times and will repeat up to three times at 10 minute
intervals unless the ICM is played back via remote control.
3. To cancel this function, simply turn the Auto Page switch OFF.
