Introduction to Fax Functions

Things You Must Do Before Using This Machine

This section describes the important setting registrations and procedures that must be done before the machine is used for sending operations.

According to recent amendments to the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) rules governing the use of facsimile equipment in the United States, the following sender information must be printed on every facsimile transmission:

•Your fax number

•Your personal name or company name

•Time and date of transmission

IMPORTANT

•If you attempt to use the machine without registering the necessary information correctly, the machine may not function properly.

•Use phone lines with modular jacks measuring 9.7 feet (3 meters) or less to ensure optimum connection and sending speeds.

■Setting the Telephone Line Type

To set the type of telephone line connected to the machine with the optional Super G3 FAX Board installed, check whether it is a rotary dial (rotary pulse) or a touch-tone type, and make the correct setting. (See "Selecting the Type of Telephone Line," on p. 1-12.)

■Registering the Sending Record

The sending record is printed at the top of the every document you send to the recipient.

The registered information is printed, as shown below. Depending upon the model of the machine at the receiving side, this information may appear on the display while communication is taking place.
