Muratec Fax Machine Out-of-paper reception, Fax/Tel Ready mode, Tel/Fax Ready mode

Basic fax

Fax/Tel Ready mode

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

Use it if: An optional handset is installed on your fax machine and

You’re using the machine as both a fax machine and a telephone

In this mode: Your fax machine answers each call without ringing. If you receive a voice call, it alerts you with a special ring.

Your fax machine receives faxes silently but also alerts you when a regular voice call comes in. (Your fax machine also beeps once at the end of each reception.)

If a voice call comes in, your fax machine detects it and sounds a special ring. If you hear it, answer using your optional handset.

Note: This Fax/Tel Ready mode won’t turn off ringers on other telephones in your house or office. Other phones won’t distinguish between fax and voice calls.

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. 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.

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.

Out-of-paper reception

In the following cases, your machine cannot print fax messages but receive them into its memory.

•When your fax machine runs out of paper.

•When it does not have standard sized papers (Letter , Legal , Ledger or Half-letter ) which can be used for the fax reception.

•When the cassette is set to OFF for “Cassette for Rx” (refer to page 3.8).

Your machine can store up to 250 fax receptions in its memory. This is called out-of- paper reception. Once you supply the papers, 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

•Resolution of documents being sent to your machine
