automatically cut in and take over the line. Note, however, if you also
have a PC modem on the same line, you must turn on the Remote
Reception function, and deactivate the Fax Signal Receive function. See

the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the
transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business
or other entity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone
number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual.
(The telephone number provided may not be a 900 number or any other number
for which charges exceed local or long-distance transmission charges.)

In order to program this information into your FAX machine, you should
complete the following steps:
See "SETTING THE DATE AND TIME" of Operation Guide for machine
(on the MX-B201D Operation Guide CD-ROM).
