FUNCTION SETTINGS

Chapter 4. FUNCTION SETTINGS

There are some settings, such as the date and time, you should enter into your fax machine before you begin using it. Once entered, these settings will remain in the machine until you change them. You can begin customising the settings by pressing Menu on the control panel. This activates the function mode and On - Screen Programming prompts. You can complete a variety of settings in this mode.

Setting the Dialling Mode (Tone/Pulse)

Your fax machine supports both tone (or multi-frequency or DTMF) and pulse (or loop/ disconnect) dialling. It is initially set to TONE, so you do not need to change the setting if you are connected to that kind of line. If you are using a pulse dial line, you can change the setting to PULSE by following the steps below:

PABX and TRANSFER

Your fax machine is initially set to be connected with PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) lines. However many offices use a central telephone system or Private Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX). Your fax can be connected to most types of PABX; it has an “R” key on the control panel, which helps to make certain PABX operations easier.

Also, you can transfer a call to another external by pressing R and you can easily gain access to the outside line from your fax connected to PABX by just pressing R.
