Your fax machine features OpenLCR technology, which helps you save money on
long distance and international phone calls (both fax and voice) by automatically
routing each call for the best available rate.
OpenLCR service is free of charge. The only cost to you is that of a periodic call
♦
(usually once every three months) to OpenLCR to receive the latest rate data.
(Once you ha v e reg istere d with OpenL CR, y our fax machine automa tical ly mak e s
this call.)
All calls routed by OpenLCR are consolidated on your monthly phone bill.
♦
To take advantage of this f eature ,
you will need to register with
OpenLCR and down load the ra te
data to your fa x machi ne.
You can register with OpenLCR by fax, phone, or through OpenLCR’s Web site
(www.OpenLCR.com).
OpenLCR
2. Setting Up
Before regist ering, be sure to read the inf ormation on the F ax Transmission Test
♦
and OpenLCR Line Activation Form and Terms of Service sheet in clude d wit h
your fax machine. If you have any questions, call OpenLCR at 970-206-1207.
OpenLCR uses Caller ID f or identific ation purposes when yo ur fa x calls OpenLCR
♦
to receive rate information. Even if you have requested your telephone company
to withhold your Caller ID information when you place calls, your fax will still
automatically transmit this information only when it calls OpenLCR.
It is possible to register for and use OpenLCR if you do not subscribe to a Caller
♦
ID service; however, in some instances where rate data must be changed on an
emergency basis, your fax may not be able to respond automatically to
OpenLCR’s call to notify your fax that it must receive new rate data. If this occurs,
old, incorrect data will continue to be used.
Please note that the agreement you enter into by registering is between you and
♦
OpenLCR; it is not between you and any carriers. OpenLCR service is only
available in the U.S.A.

• It is important to select a paper that is appropriate for
the thermal transfer printer in your fax. We
recommend using laser quality paper that has a very
smooth finish. Copier paper will work, but it
sometimes tends to yield a lighter print quality.
• Ask the other party to send higher contrast
documents. If the contrast is still too low, your fax
machine may need service. Make a copy or print a
report to check your machine’s printing ability.
• Noise on the telephone line may cause distortion.
Have the other party try sending the document again.
