About fax machines
Fax tones and handshake
When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling
tones (CNG tones). These are quiet, intermittent beeps every
4-seconds. You’ll hear them after you dial and press
and they will continue for about 60 seconds after dialling. During that
time, the sending machine must begin the “handshake” with the
receiving machine.
Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are
sending CNG tones over the phone line. You’ll soon learn to listen for
these quiet beeps each time you answer a phone on your fax line, so
you will know if you are receiving a fax message.
The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones, which are loud,
chirping sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the
phone line, and the LCD shows
If the fax machine is set to the
call automatically with fax receiving tones. If the other person hangs
up, the fax machine will continue to send the “chirps” for about 40
seconds, and the LCD continues to show
receiving, press
The fax ‘handshake’ is the time in which the sending machine’s CNG
tones and the receiving machines “chirps” overlap. This must be for
at least 2 to 4 seconds, so the fax machines can understand how
each is sending and receiving the fax. The handshake cannot begin
until the call is answered, and the CNG tones only last for about 60
seconds after the number is dialed. So it is important for the receiving
machine to answer the call in as few rings as possible.

When you have an external Telephone Answering Device (TAD)
on your fax line, your TAD will decide the number of rings before
the call is answered.
Pay special attention to the directions for connecting a TAD in
this chapter. (See

Connecting an external telephone answering
on page 1-10.)
INTRODUCTION 1 - 7
ECM (Error Correction Mode)
The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the fax machine to
check a fax transmission while it is in progress. ECM transmissions
are only possible between machines that both have this feature. If
they do, you may send and receive fax messages that are
continuously being checked by the machine.
The fax machine must have enough memory for this feature to work.

Connecting an external telephone
Your machine is equipped with a handset that you can use as a
regular phone. However you can also connect a separate telephone
to your machine, as shown below.

INTRODUCTION 1 - 9
Connecting an external telephone answering device (TAD)
Sequence
You may choose to connect an answering device. However, when
you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the
machine, the TAD answers all calls and the machine “listens” for fax
calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the machine takes over the call
and receives the fax. If it doesn’t hear CNG tones, the machine lets
the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can
leave you a voice message.
The TAD must answer within four rings (the recommended setting is
two rings). The machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has
answered the call, and with four rings there are only 8 to 10 seconds
of CNG tones left for the fax “handshake”. Make sure you carefully
follow the instructions in this guide for recording your outgoing
message. We do not recommend using the toll saver feature on your
external answering machine if it exceeds five rings.
If you do not receive all your faxes, reduce the Ring Delay
setting on your external TAD.

Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line
(unless you have the Distinctive Ring service).

INTRODUCTION 1 - 11
Recording outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAD
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up
the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.
1
Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message.
(This allows the fax machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones
of automatic transmissions before they stop.)
2
Limit your message to 20 seconds.
3
End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code
for people sending manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing
51 and Start.”
We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second
silence because the fax machine cannot hear fax tones over a
resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if the
fax machine has trouble receiving, then you must re-record the
OGM to include it.
1 - 12 INTRODUCTION
Using extension telephones (For U.K. only)
It may be that your premises are already wired with parallel extension
telephones, or you intend to add extension telephones to your line,
in addition to your machine. While the simplest arrangement is
straightforward parallel connection, there are some reasons as to
why this arrangement will cause unsatisfactory service, the most
obvious of which is inadvertent interruption of a facsimile
transmission by someone picking up an extension telephone in order
to make an outgoing call. Additionally, fax receive may not operate
reliably in such a simple configuration.
This machine may also be set to make a delayed transmission (i.e. a
transmission at a pre-set time). This pre-set job may coincide with
someone picking up an extension handset.
Such problems can easily be eliminated however, if you arrange
modification of your extension wiring circuit, such that extension
devices are connected “downstream” of your machine, in a
master/slave configuration. In such a configuration, this machine can
always detect whether a telephone is in use, thus it will not attempt
to seize the line during that time. This is known as “telephone
off-hook detection.”

The inadvisable configuration is shown in figure 1 below, and the
recommended master/slave configuration is shown in figure 2.
This new connection configuration can be arranged by contacting
BT, Kingston upon Hull Telecommunications, your PABX maintainer
or a qualified telephone installation company as appropriate. Simply
explained, the extension telephone circuit should be terminated on a
normal modular plug (BT 431A style), which in turn should be
inserted into the modular socket of the white “T”-shaped connector
provided as part of the line cord assembly.

Multi-Line Connections (PABX)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often
relatively simple to connect the machine to a key system or a PABX
(Private Automatic Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact
the company that installed your telephone system and ask them to
connect the Fax machine for you. It is advisable to have a separate
line for the Fax machine. You can then leave the Fax machine in FAX
ONLY mode to receive faxes any time of day or night.
If the Fax machine is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your
installer to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This
prevents the unit from being activated each time a telephone call is
received.
As with all fax units, this machine must be connected to a two
wire system. If your line has more than two wires, proper
connection of the Fax machine cannot be made.
If you are Installing the Fax machine to Work with a PABX
1
It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all
circumstances with a PABX. Any cases of difficulty should be
reported first to the company that handles your PABX.

If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator,
it is recommended that the Receive Mode be set to
incoming calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.
