Telstra FaxStream™ Duet (Only for Australia)
In Australia, Telstra offers the FaxStream™ Duet capability. If
you subscribe to this service, your line is assigned two numbers:
one for fax and one for phone. When the fax number is called,
the network sends a specific ringing tone which your machine
recognizes and automatically handles as a fax call. If the phone
number is called, a different ringing tone is sent out from the
network so that the call is handled as a voice call.
This means that there is no switching delay at the caller’s end.
– Triple ring (short-short-short) for fax receiving. Three short
rings, at regular intervals.
Appendix

Manual Reception
When you select <MANUAL> in <RX MODE>, follow the
procedure below to receive a fax.
1.When the telephone rings, pick up the
optional handset or the handset of the
external telephone.
2.Confirm that the modem’s connecting sound
is heard, then press [Start].
3.Hang up the optional handset or the external
telephone.
– Any ring except triple ring (depending on your switchboard)
for telephone conversation.
Contact Telstra for connection information.
If you want to set the machine for network switch, set the receive
mode to <NET SWITCH>.
● When You Hear the Telephone Call Ring Pattern
Pick up the handset of the external phone and talk normally. If
you hear a slow beep, it means the call is from a fax machine
trying to send a fax. Press [Start] on your machine to receive the
fax. If you do not pick up the handset, the machine continues to
ring until the other party hangs up. If an answering machine is
connected, it takes over the call.
● When You Hear the Fax Call Ring Pattern (Triple Ring)
After the machine rings, it receives the document automatically.

Telecom FaxAbility (Only for New Zealand)
In New Zealand, Telecom N.Z. offers the FaxAbility capability.
This service allows you to assign two numbers to your line: one
for fax and one for telephone. When the fax number is called,
the network sends a specific ring tone which your machine
recognizes and automatically handles as a fax call. If the
telephone number is called, a different ring tone is sent out from
the network so that the call is handled as a voice call. This
means that there is no switching delay at the caller’s end.
Contact Telecom for connection information.
If you want to set the machine for network switch, set the receive
mode to <NET SWITCH>.
● When You Hear the Telephone Call Ring Pattern
Pick up the handset of the external phone and talk normally. If
you hear a slow beep, it means the call is from a fax machine
trying to send a fax. Press [Start] on your machine to receive the
fax. If you do not pick up the handset, the machine continues to
ring until the other party hangs up. If an answering machine is
connected, it takes over the call.

■ Memory Reception
The machine automatically receives faxes in memory when
printing is disabled under certain conditions (e.g., toner or paper
has run out).
When the problem is cleared, the machine automatically prints
the faxes which were stored in the memory.
NOTE
– The machine memory can store up to 256 fax jobs or approximately
256 pages.*
*Based on the condition that the other party sends the fax by the
imageCLASS MF4100 Series with ITU-T Standard Chart No.1,
standard mode. The maximum number of pages that the machine’s
memory can store differs depending on the other party’s machine.
– Once the pages are printed, they are deleted from the memory.
– If the memory becomes full, you will not be able to receive the
remaining pages. Contact the other party and ask them to resend the
remaining pages of the fax.

QIs the machine set to receive automatically?
AFor the machine to receive faxes automatically, the
receive mode must be set to <FaxOnly>,
<AnsMode>, <NET SWITCH> or <FaxTel>. If you
have set <AnsMode>, confirm that an answering
machine is connected to the machine and that it is
turned on with an outgoing message properly
recorded. (See “Setting the Receive Mode,” on
p. 1-8.)
QIs a document stored in memory, leaving little
or no memory available?
APrint, send, or delete any documents stored in
memory.
QHas an error occurred during reception?
ACheck the LCD for an error message. (See
Chapter 11, “Troubleshooting,” in the Basic Guide.)
APrint an Activity Report and check for an error.
(See “ACTIVITY REPORT,” on p. 4-5.)
AMake sure paper is loaded in the machine. (See
“Set Up the Paper Trays and Load Paper,” in the
Starter Guide.)
QIs the telephone cable connected properly?
AMake sure the cable is connected properly. (See
“Connect Telephone Cables and Install Handset
(MF4140/MF4150 Only),” in the Starter Guide.)
Cannot receive a fax in the <AnsMode>.
QAre the setting of the <AnsMode CHK TIME>
and the <FAX DETECT TIME> properly set?
AThe machine may not receive the documents
depending on how the setting of the connected
answering machine or the sender’s machine is set.
To solve the problem, try to set the value of the
<AnsMode CHK TIME> (the default value: 20
seconds) and <FAX DETECT TIME> (the default
value: 40 seconds) to 30 seconds and 50 seconds
respectively. (See “Setting the Receive Mode,” on
p. 1-8.)

G
G3, Group 3 fax machine
Defined by CCITT/ITU-T. Uses encoding schemes to transmit
image data while reducing the amount of data that needs to be
transmitted, thus reducing transmission time. G3 fax machines
can transmit one page in less than one minute. Encoding
schemes for G3 fax machines are Modified Huffman (MH),
Modified READ (MR), Modified Modified READ (MMR), and Joint
Bi-level Image expert Group (JBIG).
Group Dialing
