Beyond the basics

It’s a great phone, too

As you’ve probably guessed by now, your fax machine is a dandy phone, too! Let’s see just how dandy by looking briefly at the machine’s telephone features.

Important: All of the instructions on this page assume you have attached an optional handset to your fax machine.

Redial

Press REDIAL/PAUSE to — you guessed it! — redial the last number you dialed. (Be sure that attempt, too, was also a regular phone call. In a multi-user setting, someone else may have quickly sent a fax without your knowing it.)

On-hook dialing

Because your machine has a monitor speaker, you can dial without picking up the handset. For hands-free dialing:

1. Press MONITOR/CALL. You’ll hear a dial tone (unless you have set your speaker volume to off; see page 1.17), and the display will show:

** Tel Mode **

_

2. Dial the number you want. You may use either the numeric keypad, a one- touch key or a speed-dial number.

Note: Remember, your fax machine’s monitor speaker is not a speakerphone; so, be sure to pick up the handset if the other person answers!

Note: You also can dial a fax call this way if, for some reason, you want to hear the other machine’s answering fax tones. (Make sure there’s a document in the feeder.) When you do hear those tones, press START to send the document.

You can EasyDial regular phone calls, too

Just in case you didn’t notice, the EasyDial directory dialing feature is available for regular phone calls as well as fax calls. Review the EasyDial instructions on page 2.16 for more information.
