Dual access

You can dial a number and start scanning the fax into memory—even when the machine is sending from memory, receiving faxes or printing PC data. The LCD will show the new job number.

The number of pages you can scan into the memory will vary depending on the data that is printed on them.

Note

If you get an Out of Memory message while scanning the first page of a fax, press Stop/Exit to cancel scanning. If you get an Out of Memory message while scanning a subsequent page, you can press Start to send the pages scanned so far, or press Stop/Exit to cancel the operation.

Broadcasting

Broadcasting lets you send the same fax message to more than one fax number. You can include Groups, One Touch, Speed Dial numbers and up to 50 manually dialed numbers in the same broadcast.

You can broadcast up to 366 different numbers. This will depend on how many Groups, access codes or credit card numbers you have saved, and on how many delayed or stored faxes are in the memory.

Before you begin the broadcast

One Touch and Speed Dial numbers must be stored in the machine's memory before they can be used in a broadcast. (See Basic User's Guide: Storing One Touch Dial numbers and Storing Speed Dial numbers.)

Group numbers must also be stored in the machine's memory before they can be used in a broadcast. Group numbers include many previously stored One Touch Dial and Speed Dial numbers for easier dialing. (See Setting up Groups for Broadcasting uu page 38.)

Real Time Transmission

When you are sending a fax, the machine will scan the documents into the memory before sending it. Then, as soon as the telephone line is free, the machine will start dialing and sending.

Sometimes, you may want to send an important document immediately, without waiting for memory transmission. You can set Real Time TX to On for all documents or Next Fax:On for the next fax only.

Note

If the memory is full and you are sending a fax from the ADF, the machine will send the document in real time (even if

Real Time TX is set to Off). If the memory is full, faxes from the scanner glass cannot be sent until you clear some of the memory.

Receiving faxes into memory when the paper tray is empty

As soon as the paper tray becomes empty during fax reception, the LCD shows

No Paper and begins receiving faxes into the machine’s memory. Put some paper in the paper tray. (See Basic User's Guide:

Loading paper and print media.)

The machine will carry on receiving the fax, with the remaining pages being stored in the memory, if enough memory is available.

Incoming faxes will continue to be stored in the memory until the memory becomes full or paper is loaded in the paper tray. When the memory is full the machine will stop automatically answering calls. To print the faxes, put fresh paper in the tray.

Polling overview

Polling lets you set up your machine so other people can receive faxes from you, but they pay for the call. It also lets you call somebody else’s fax machine and receive a fax from it, so you pay for the call. The polling feature needs to be set up on both machines for this to work. Not all fax machines support polling.

Telephone line services

Tone or Pulse (Canada only)

If you have a Pulse dialing service, but need to send Tone signals (for example, for telephone banking), follow the instructions below. If you have Touch Tone service, you will not need this feature to send tone signals.

a Press Hook.

b Press # on the machine’s control panel. Any digits dialed after this will send tone signals.

When you are finished with the call, the machine will return to the Pulse dialing service.

For Fax/Tel mode only

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/double-ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.

If you are at the machine, lift the external telephone’s handset, and then press Hook to answer.

If you are at an extension telephone, lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and then press #51 between the pseudo/double rings. If no one is on the line, or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the machine by pressing l51.

Special line considerations

Roll over telephone lines

A roll over telephone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that pass incoming calls to each other if they are busy. The calls are usually passed down or “rolled over” to the next available telephone line in a preset order.

Your machine can work in a roll over system as long as it is the last number in the sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not put the machine on any of the other numbers; when the other lines are busy and a second fax call is received, the fax call would be transferred to a line that does not have a fax machine. Your machine will work best on a dedicated line.

Two-line telephone system

A two-line telephone system is nothing more than two separate telephone numbers on the same wall outlet. The two telephone numbers can be on separate jacks (RJ11) or combined into one jack (RJ14). Your machine must be plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14 jacks may be equal in size and appearance and both may contain four wires (black, red, green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in a two-line telephone and see if it can access both lines. If it can, you must separate the line for your machine.

36

Converting telephone wall outlets

There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 jack. The first two ways may require assistance from the telephone company. You can change the wall outlets from one RJ14 jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or, you can have an RJ11 wall outlet installed and slave or jump one of the telephone numbers to it.

The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). If your machine is on Line 1, plug the machine into L1 of the triplex adapter. If your machine is on Line 2, plug it into L2 of the triplex adapter.

RJ14

RJ14

Installing machine, external two-line TAD and two-line telephone

When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering device (TAD) and a two-line telephone, your machine must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and at the TAD. The most common connection is to put the machine on Line 2, which is explained in the following steps. The back of the two-line TAD must have two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other labeled L2. You will need at least three telephone line cords, the one that came with your machine and two for your external two-line TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if you add a two-line telephone.

Dialing and storing numbers

a Place the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your machine.

b Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your machine into the L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the back of the machine.

c Plug one end of the first telephone line cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the L1 or L1/L2 jack of the two-line TAD.

d Plug one end of the second telephone

line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of

You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are two ways to add a two-line telephone to the machine’s wall outlet. You can plug the telephone line cord from the two-line telephone into the L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Or, you can plug the two-line telephone into the TEL jack of the two-line TAD.

Chapter 5

Additional dialing operations

Dialing access codes and credit card numbers

You can combine more than one Quick Dial number when you dial. This feature may be useful if you need to dial an access code for a cheaper rate from another long distance carrier.

For example, you might have stored ‘555’ on Speed Dial #003 and ‘7000’ on Speed Dial #002. You can use them both to dial ‘555-7000’ if you press the following keys:

Press (Address Book) twice, 003.

Press (Address Book) twice, 002 and

Start.

Numbers can be added manually by entering them on the dial pad:

Press (Address Book) twice, 003, 7001

(on the dial pad), and Start.

This would dial ‘555-7001’. You can also add a pause by pressing the Redial/Pause key.

Additional ways to store numbers

Setting up Groups for

Broadcasting

If you often want to send the same fax message to many fax numbers you can set up a Group.

Groups are stored on a One Touch key or a Speed Dial number. Each Group uses up a One Touch key or a Speed Dial location. You can then send the fax message to all the numbers stored in a Group just by pressing a One Touch key or entering a Speed Dial number, and then pressing Start.

Before you can add numbers to a Group, you need to store them as One Touch or Speed Dial numbers. You can set up to 20 small Groups, or you can assign up to 315 numbers to one large Group.
