Canon MP 1000 manual Placing a Call on Hold

When a call comes in, the MultiPASS 1000 checks to see if the call is from a telephone or fax machine.

❏If the call is from a telephone, the machine rings to alert you and the LCD displays:

TALK

❏If you do not pick up the handset within 22 seconds, the ringing stops. To change the ring time, see Customizing the FAX/TEL SWITCH Feature on page 7-20.

❏If the call is from a fax machine and the INCOMING RING function is set to OFF, the MultiPASS 1000 does not ring. It receives the document automatically.

❏To set the MultiPASS 1000 to ring whenever it receives a call, whether from a fax machine or telephone, you use the INCOMING RING function; see page 7-18.

Placing a Call on Hold

❏The MultiPASS 1000 plays a melody over the line and the ON HOOK light blinks.
