Muratec F-98 EasyStart, Clearing settings before beginning, What do you want to do?

Getting started

EasyStart

Your Muratec fax machine comes with EasyStart. It guides you in entering the bare-bones settings required for normal operation — so it’s easy for you to start using your machine quickly. (You can enter other settings later or change settings. We’ll explain in “Beyond the basics,” beginning on page 2.1.)

Important: At the end of EasyStart, your machine will print a list of its settings. So first, please be sure you’ve correctly installed your machine and loaded recording paper into it (see “Setting up,” beginning on page 1.6).

Clearing settings before beginning

Before using EasyStart, clear your machine’s built-in user data memory, which stores settings. This insures the memory will hold only your settings.

Important: After you use EasyStart, please do not clear the memory again unless an authorized technician asks you to do so.

To clear the machine’s memory:

1 Press PROGRAM, *, 2. The LCD now asks whether you’re sure about clearing the memory:

Clear User Settings

Check Program/Enter

Note: If you don’t want to proceed, just press PROGRAM.

2 If you are sure, press ENTER to complete the process by cancelling the existing user data memory settings.

What do you want to do?

EasyStart will want you to enter a little information, so first, please determine the following before you begin:

1 The type of dialing your telephone system requires — You may select either tone or pulse (rotary) dialing.

2 The name and fax number you want to appear on your faxes — Every fax page you send will arrive at the receiving machine with a single line of text at the very top of the page. Among other things, this text will list a name and a fax number. The name must not be longer than 22 characters.

Note: Incidentally, the fax industry term for this text is Transmit Terminal Identifier (TTI). (Another term, Subscriber ID, refers to just the fax number in the TTI.)

Using EasyStart to enter initial settings

Important: Be sure your fax machine has paper before you begin EasyStart, since

this feature can print a list of settings at the conclusion.

Important: If you press STOP during EasyStart, your fax machine will return to standby mode (its normal condition) but will retain what settings you saved by pressing ENTER as described in these instructions.

1 Press PROGRAM, I, ENTER.

The LCD will display the current setting of the fax’s built-in calendar/clock, with a cursor appearing under the first digit.

Enter Time

’99 01/01 00:00

2 Use the numeric keypad to enter the correct date and time, using a YYMMDD format for the date and 24-hour(“military”) format for the time. For instance, to set 8:30 PM on December 11, 1998, press 9 8 12 1 1 2 0 3 0, which results in:

Enter Time

’98 12/11 20:30

Note: Your fax machine automatically inserts the spaces and date-slash. All you have to do is enter the digits.

To change only one digit, press to move the cursor leftward, or to move it rightward, to that digit. Then, enter the correct digit.

3 Press ENTER to save the clock setting and continue EasyStart.
