Getting Started Guide

Receiving a fax

The A4000 has four fax receive modes. The current receive mode is displayed in the top right corner of the LCD display.

You can change the receive mode with the Settings utility, or by pressing the setup button, followed by the menu button. Press the menu button repeatedly until the receive mode menu is displayed.

The four receive modes are:

>FAX. The A4000 will answer the incoming call on the first ring and receives the fax automatically. Use the Settings utility to set the number of rings to wait before answering the call.

>ANS/FAX. Use this receive mode if you have an answering machine connected to the A4000 ext socket. The answering machine will answer the call, and if a fax tone is detected, the A4000 will receive the fax. If the answering machine is off or not connected, the A4000 will still attempt to receive a fax after six or more rings.

>TEL. This mode works best if you have a telephone attached to the ext socket on the A4000. Fax reception is turned off. If you receive a call on the extension phone and hear fax tones, you can receive the incoming fax by pressing * 9 * (star-nine-star), or by pressing the start button twice. Once the A4000 starts receiving the fax, hang up the telephone handset.

>DRPD. In DRPD (Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection) mode, the A4000 will answer a call on the line that has a distinctive ring pattern. Distinctive ring is a telephone company service that allows a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. Before you can use DRPD, you must teach your A4000 the ring pattern using the setup menu. Also, check with your local telephone provider to see if they offer the Distinctive Ring service.

Choose the fax receive mode that best fits your faxing needs.

Fax forwarding

While you are away from your home or office, you do not have to miss important faxes. The Compaq A4000 can forward any faxes it receives to a fax machine at your new location, and it can print a copy for you to review when you get back as well.

To set up fax forwarding, use the setup menu or the Settings utility. Set the start date and time, the end date and time, and whether you want your faxes printed locally as well as forwarded. If fax forwarding is active, it will be indicated on the LCD display.
