Programming regular and database polling

Note: To erase a programmable one-touch key, refer to page 2.70.

Note: For database polling to work, three things must be true:

∙The remote fax must be a memory-equipped Muratec fax (other than an F-76, F-85 or F-86) with a file stored in its database memory and ready for polling.

∙The database file which you’re polling must exist on the remote fax.

∙You must know the one- or two-digit file number for each database file you wish to poll.

Note: You cannot program continuous polling into a programmable one-touch key. For more information on continuous polling, see page 2.32.

To program a polling operation, whether regular or database, into a programmable one-touch key:

1. Change to the Fax mode then press PROGRAM, C, 1, ENTER. The display either shows:

Select Program No. 73:No Number Stored

. . . or indicates a command already is programmed into this key. If 73 is the key you want to program, skip to step 4. (However, our examples from here will say “76” rather than “73.”

2. Select the key in which you want to program a command or change a previously stored command — if necessary, turn the fliptab to see it, as described earlier — and then press it. Here, we’ve selected 76.

Select Program No. 76:No Number Stored

3. If you change your mind and wish to select a different programmable one- touch key, go back to step 2 before going on to step 4.

4. Press ENTER. The display now shows either:

76:Fax Number	or	76:Fax Number
_		9-5557312_

5. Use the numeric keypad to enter the number exactly as your machine should dial it, including whatever codes your phone system may require. The number can be up to 40 characters in length:

76:Fax Number 9-5550629_

Your display can show only 20 characters at a time. To view characters beyond those 20 (such as with an international long-distance numbers),

press to scroll leftward or to scroll rightward. Important: Do not press ENTER.

Note: If you make a mistake or want to erase characters entered in a previous setting, press CANCEL to erase leftward. Or, if you want

to change just one character in the number, press to move the

cursor leftward, or to move it rightward, to that character and press CANCEL to erase it. Then re-enter until the number is just as you want it.

6. Now, while you still can see the fax number on the display, press

COMMUNICATION OPTIONS four times and then press ENTER.

The display shows:

Polling

File No. _

If you’re performing regular (not database) polling, press ENTER and skip to step 8.

7. Use the numeric keypad to enter the one- or two-digit identifier for each database file you want to poll. You can specify up to 10 files; between the

entry of each new file, pressto insert a comma but do not insert a comma after the last file number.

For example, here, we’ve entered 2, 6,

COMMUNICATION OPTIONS, 2, 8, COMMUNICATION OPTIONS (the letter in

preparation for another file number):

Polling

File No. 6,27,28_

Note: The display shows only seven characters of the file number.

Important: Again, do not insert a comma after the last file number.

When the entry is complete, press ENTER.

8. If you want the polling to begin immediately every time you press the key, press ENTER again and skip to step 11.

If you want to delay the polling (perhaps to take advantage of lower phone

rates), press COMMUNICATION OPTIONS, ENTER.
