Call request

You can send or receive a fax message and have a regular phone conversation on the same call (although, not at the same time). This is called a call request. It doesn’t matter whether you’re sending the fax or receiving it. You may fax first and then talk, or talk first and then fax.

Important: For this feature to work, the remote fax machine must have a similar call-request capability. Your machine must also have an optional handset attached.

Note: Communicating this way disables “V.34” mode, causing the fax machine to handle the call in normal ITU-TGroup 3 fashion. See page AI.2 for more information.

Faxing/receiving first, then talking

To send or receive a fax first and then talk:

1

While your fax machine is sending or receiving the fax, press MONITOR/CALL.

2

At the remote fax machine, the ringer will sound after that machine receives

 

each page.

3

If someone answers at the remote fax machine, your fax machine will ring

 

several times. If so, pick up the optional handset. In a few seconds, the line

will open and you can begin your conversation.

Talking first, then sending a fax

To talk first and then send a fax:

1 When you’ve finished your phone conversation, don’t hang up.

2 Insert the document you want to fax.

3 Adjust the resolution and contrast if necessary.

4 Tell the person at the other fax machine to press START and to hang up his/her handset. Don’t hang up your handset yet!

5 When you hear fax tones, press START and hang up your fax machine’s optional handset. Your fax machine will send the document.

Responding to a call request

If someone requests a call from you during a fax communication, you’ll hear a long ring after the receiving machine has received each page. To answer the call request:

1

Lift your machine’s optional handset, and listen for a few seconds. You may

 

 

hear a brief series of fax tones.

 

2

Shortly, the line will open and the person at the other end of the line will

answer. You and the other person now can have a normal phone conversation.

The power of QuadAccess®

 

Your fax machine’s QuadAccess feature sharply reduces the time you might spend

Features

waiting for the machine to finish its work. QuadAccess is a more powerful version of

what already is a pretty powerful feature, called dual access. While a fax with normal

 

dual access allows you to do two things at once, QuadAccess allows you to do four

 

operations at once. For example, even if the machine is (1) printing a copy, (2) trans-

Fax

mitting from memory and (3) scanning documents for a different memory

 

transmission, you can still (4) program the machine.
