Muratec F-100, F-150 Adjusting the machine for larger documents, How to insert a document, 1.14

Getting started

Changing the pause length

The pause is set by the factory to last five seconds, but you can set it to last as long as ten seconds if necessary. If you find the five-second pause is satisfactory when you use it with your phone system, do not make this change. But, if you must:

1 Press /PROGRAM, J, 0, 5, ENTER.

Set Dialing Pause

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 3.

Otherwise, proceed to step 2.

2 Use the numeric keypad to enter the desired length of the dialing pause. Here, we’ve chosen nine seconds.

Set Dialing Pause

Note: The length setting requires two digits, so there always must be a lead- ing zero for lengths other than 10 seconds.

3 Press ENTER to save the setting.

Potential problems with call-waiting and voice mail

Telephone call-waiting signals can stop fax transmission and reception. And, of course, any service — such as voice mail — which may intercept your calls can keep your fax machine from getting fax calls.

If you must use only one phone line, please consult your telephone company for information on how you can temporarily disable call-waiting or voice mail while using the fax machine.

Adjusting the machine for larger documents

If you’re using larger documents, you can adjust the document hopper and the docu- ment tray. Just flip the top up or down, as appropriate for your documents’ sizes.

How to insert a document

1 Adjust the document guides — by sliding either of them to the left or right — to fit the page (s) you’ll be faxing. Your fax machine’s automatic document feeder will hold up to 50 pages.

Note: If your machine’s scanning width (see page 2.2) is set for “A4” (its only such setting if it’s either an F-120 or F-100) and you insert a letter- sized document, your machine scans the center 8.2″ and sends it unreduced (see pages 2.3–2.4 for more on reduction). This means that there will be a 0.15″ margin on each side of the page which your fax machine will not scan.

2 If you’re sending a multi-page document, “fan” the pages slightly. The bottom sheet should extend just slightly from the others.

3 Insert the document face up. The fax machine will “grab” the first page of the document and position it for faxing. (If need be, readjust the document guides for the best fit.)

The LCD will now show the current scanning width setting (see “A4, B4, A3” in the Glossary

that begins on page 3.17) and the amount of memory available:

Document Ready

Speaking of memory . . .

Using memory transmission

Your fax machine has a great memory! And, because it does, it can finish fax jobs more quickly than otherwise would be possible. By automatically scanning your document into, then transmitting from, its memory — rather than transmitting each part of the scan only as quickly as the receiving fax machine can receive it — your fax machine can hand you back your original document more rapidly.

Also, here’s a real money-saver on long-distance fax calls: if you’re transmitting to another memory-equipped Muratec fax machine, your machine will send the docu- ment directly into the other machine’s memory and hang up! (The receiving machine then prints out your message from its memory.) This cuts your actual on- line time to a minimum.

Better still: set up a delayed command (see pages 2.21–2.23) to send your document to that other Muratec fax machine after hours, and you’ll save two ways on the call: not only will the call itself be short, but also the line charges will be cheaper!
