Advantages of Caller ID

For Business

All businesses profit from a quicker response to customer calls. Businesses that provide mail order services, money-lending services or provide confidential information, can protect themselves from false orders or acceptance of false identification.

At Home

Residential customers can protect themselves from unwanted calls.

How Does the Caller ID Work?

The Caller ID Appears on the Display When Your Telephone Rings

As your telephone rings, the display shows you the caller’s phone number or name. Once you pick up the handset, the caller’s ID disappears. You will see up to the first 16 characters of the number on the display.

Helpful Hints

■If OUT OF AREA appears on the display, it means that the call came from outside your caller ID service area or a public phone. *

■If PRIVATE CALL appears on the display, it means the caller intentionally blocked the transmission of his/her ID. *

■If no caller ID was transmitted to your fax machine, PICK UP PHONE will remain on the display.

* Depends on network Function.

The Caller ID is Stored in Your Machine’s Memory

The FAX/MFC can store a maximum of the last 30 incoming caller IDs in the memory, along with the time and date of reception. The 31st call will cause the oldest ID to be erased.

The Caller ID information stored in the memory can be used for the following.

■Printing the Caller ID List.

You can review calls you received by checking the Caller IDs in memory. This report will list the Date, Time, Phone Number (Caller ID), and type of Call (Comment).
