Muratec MFX-1500 Managing your fax with its journal and reports, Entering the cover page message

ECM communication

Beyond the basics

Entering the cover page message

1. If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2.

If it is in Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode.

2. Press PROGRAM, K, 2, ENTER.

3. Now, use the one-touch keypad to enter a message for the cover page. The message can be up to 40 characters in length. You enter the message the same way you entered your fax name during EasyStart. We’ll review the process, here. (If you’re changing a previously entered message, see the note at the end of this step.)

Important: As in EasyStart, you enter letters and other non-numeric characters through the one-touch keys.

Cover Page :Upper

_

The word “Upper” means the machine is currently set for entering only upper-case letters. If you press R, the machine will see it as an R (not an r).

To change it so that pressing a one-touch key will produce a lower-case letter rather than an upper-case letter, press ALPHABET. The display will change to:

Cover Page :Lower

_

This means pressing one-touch keys will enter lower-case letters: pressing R will produce an r (not an R) on the display.

To switch back for upper-case entries, press ALPHABET again.

To enter spaces, punctuation and symbols, press CODE then enter the characters shown on the one-touch keypad you want.

To use CODE to enter a wide variety of characters, please review the explanation on page 2.3. The vast majority of the time, you will probably find the ALPHABET key to be sufficient.

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 message, 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 message is just as you want it.

4. When the message is as you want it, press ENTER to save it.

Printing the cover page

To confirm that the cover page is as you wish, it’s easy to print a sample cover page from your fax machine. Just press PROGRAM, K, 3, ENTER.

Managing your fax with its journal and reports

Setting the activity journal

Just as a checkbook records your daily financial transactions, your fax machine keeps an activity journal which records the machine’s 125 most recent fax transactions. For each, the activity journal lists the following information:

∙Assigned number, starting a new each day at 001

∙Remote location called

∙Resolution mode

∙Starting date and time

∙Duration, in minutes and seconds

∙Length, in number of pages

∙Department code (see pages 2.47 – 2.48)

∙ Result of the call — If preceded by an asterisk (*), this signifies an (see page 2.5).

∙Any special operations — For example, a fax call made using an optional handset will appear as “Manual”

If you wish, your fax machine will print the activity journal automatically after 125 transactions. To toggle this automatic printing on or off:

1. If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2.

If it is in Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode.

2. Press PROGRAM, G, 1, ENTER. The display will show:

Auto Print: Off

Program/Enter

If this setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 3.

Otherwise, proceed to step 2.

3. To change the setting, press PROGRAM once or twice until your desired choice appears. Here, we’ve chosen On.

Auto Print: On

Program/Enter

4. Press ENTER to save the setting.

Printing an activity journal manually

If you need to see an activity journal but can’t wait until your fax has finished the 125 fax transactions and prints the journal automatically, just print the journal manually at any time by pressing PROGRAM, G, 2, ENTER.
