Beyond the basics

Custom settings

Your fax machine is controlled by what we call memory switches (also sometimes called DIP switches, where DIP stands for dual in-linepackage). As you can probably guess, these aren’t real, physical switches you can feel with a finger. Rather, they’re the various settings your fax machine keeps in its memory. In fact, you’ve already adjusted many of these settings as you’ve gone through these instructions; you’ve simply done it through the more usual methods we provide. In the vast majority of cases, you won’t have to do any more.

However, you may have some special requirements. That’s why, in addition to the more common settings you’ve already seen, your fax machine offers some special settings to let you customize the machine to your needs. Still, please use care! It’s

possible to change — or even disable — proper fax operation if you make an incorrect setting.

Note: If you think you’ve made an incorrect memory switch setting, please call your authorized Muratec dealer or call the Muratec Customer Support Center at (972) 364-3350.

A special note about memory switches

As we’ve said above, each time you make any kind of setting in your fax machine, you’re changing the setting of memory switches. So, don’t worry if, while going through any of the following instructions to display a particular memory switch, what you see on your machine’s display doesn’t exactly match what we’ve shown here. Just follow the instructions to change only the specific number (or numbers) described and ignore the other numbers.

We’ll say it once more, however: please be careful.

Sending pages of unlimited length

Normally, your fax machine can send single pages up to 39.4″ long; longer pages trigger your machine’s paper-jam sensor. However, if you need to send even longer unbroken pages — such as medical strip charts, or logs from oil or water wells — you can disable the paper-jam sensor:

1. Change to the Fax mode then press PROGRAM, *, 1.

7. To abort the change, skip to step 8. To save the change, press ENTER.

8. Press STOP to return to standby.

Important: After sending the extra-long document, be sure to return to the regular setting by repeating this procedure except for pressing 1 (rather than 0) in step 6.
