Restricting dialing

This feature is to prevent users from sending a fax or call to a wrong number by mistake. You can set the machine to restrict dialing when you use the dial pad, One Touch, Speed Dial and LDAP search.

If you choose Off, the machine does not restrict the dialing method.

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.

42

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

RJ11

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 Put 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

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.

Additional dialing operations

Dialing access codes and credit card numbers

Sometimes you may want to choose from several long distance carriers when you send a fax. Rates may vary depending on the time and destination. To take advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes of long distance carriers and credit card numbers as One Touch and Speed Dial numbers. You can store these long dialing sequences by dividing them and setting them up as separate One Touch and Speed Dial numbers in any combination. You can even include manual dialing using the dial pad. (See Basic User's Guide: Storing numbers.)

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), #003 and

Send a fax.

Press Address Book, #002, Send a fax and Start.

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

Press (Address Book), #003, Send a fax, 7001 (on the dial pad), and

Start.

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

44

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 button or a Speed Dial number. Each Group uses up a One Touch button 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 button or entering a Speed Dial number, pressing Send a fax or

Send a E-mail, 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 331 numbers to one large Group.

For a listing of the options available when you set up Group numbers, see the table on page 47.
