Muratec F-320 How to select the fax reception mode, If the paper runs out while fax reception

Basic operation

Tel/Fax Ready mode

The Tel/Fax Ready mode is a combination of the Tel Ready and Fax Ready modes.

Use it if:	• An optional handset is installed on your fax machine
	and
	• You’re using the machine as both a telephone and a fax machine

In this mode: Your fax machine rings the number of times you’ve identified in the user settings (the default setting is two times). If you don’t use the optional handset to answer the call, your fax machine answers the call. If a caller sends a fax, your machine begins receiving it. If a voice call comes in, your machine detects it and sounds a special ring, telling you to answer using the optional handset.

Ans/Fax Ready mode

Use it if: You’re using an answering machine that’s connected directly to your fax machine.

In this mode: An answering machine connected to your fax machine answers each call. If a voice call comes in, the answering machine begins to record the incoming message. If your fax machine hears a fax tone, it begins receiving the fax message.

Using an answering machine with your fax machine

To connect your answering machine to your fax machine:

1 Set the fax machine for Ans/Fax Ready, as described on right column.

2 Set your answering machine to answer calls after no more than two rings. (See the answering machine’s instructions if necessary.)

3 Create a new outgoing message on your answering machine. Here’s a suggested message:

Hello! You’ve reached [your name or telephone number]. To leave a voice message, please wait for the beep. To send a fax, press START on your fax machine. Thanks for calling!

Important: Your answering machine’s outgoing message must be no longer than 10 seconds.

Detection of “silent” fax machines

Some older fax machines don’t send fax tones when transmitting, which can cause problems when using an answering machine with your fax.

But your fax machine can accommodate these “silent” machines without disrupting your answering machine operation.

How to select the fax reception mode

1 Press MENU, 9, and then press ENTER four times. The LCD shows your current fax reception mode:

Fax Ready

$/#/Enter

2 Press or until your desired reception mode appears.

3 Press ENTER to save the setting.

If the paper runs out while fax reception

When your machine runs out of paper, it beeps, the ALARM light glows and the LCD shows which source has run out of paper – the 1st cassette, 2nd cassette (optional) or the bypass tray.

In this example, the machine runs out of paper in 1st cassette:

1st Cassette

Please Supply Paper

Note: If the letter, legal or half-letter sized paper has been set in the bypass tray, your machine uses it when running out of paper in the paper cassette(s) during fax reception. Your machine’s bypass tray can hold up to 50 sheets of the paper.

Your fax machine cannot print fax messages without paper. But it can still receive documents into its memory, as described in the section below.

Out-of-paper reception

If your machine runs out of paper, it stores up to 250 fax receptions in its memory. This is called out-of-paper reception. Once you refill the paper supply, the fax machine prints the stored messages automatically.

Note: The number of pages (not receptions) your fax machine can store for out-of-paper reception will vary. It depends on:

•Your machine’s memory capacity

•Types of documents being sent to your machine

•Document mode of documents being sent to your machine
