Muratec MFX-1500 Setting the reports TCRs and RCRs, Information, please what the reports tell you

Beyond the basics

Setting the reports: TCRs and RCRs

You can set your fax machine to print reports.

There are two different reports: a transmit confirmation report (TCR) and a receive confirmation report (RCR). You can receive a TCR after sending a fax to any group 3 fax machine, but the RCR function works only when you send a fax to a compatible Muratec machine. (Consult your authorized Muratec dealer, or call Muratec Customer Support at

[972]364-3350, with any questions about such compatibility.) Choose the type of report you want, based on the fax machines to which you’ll be transmitting.

Note: If receiving a fax from another Muratec machine (even the same model as yours), your fax machine cannot cause a sending Muratec fax machine to generate an RCR. Instead, the sending machine will print a TCR.

Information, please: what the reports tell you

TCR

The TCR gives you the following information for each communication:

∙Remote location called

∙Resolution mode

∙Starting date and time

∙Duration, in minutes and seconds

∙Length, in number of pages

∙Result of the call

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

∙Sample of the document — An image of the first page of the document

If an error occurs, the TCR tells you the remote location called and the error code and error message (see pages 3.10 – 3.12).

RCR

The RCR gives you the following information for each communication:

∙Date and time

∙Remote location called

∙Assigned number, starting a new each day at 001

∙Resolution mode

∙Duration, in minutes and seconds

∙Length, in number of pages

∙Result of the call — Either “ OK” or an error code (see pages 3.10 – 3.12).

To set the printing of either, or both, of these reports:

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, 3, ENTER. The display will show:

TCR Selected

Program/Enter

If you see the report you wish to set, skip to step 4.

Otherwise, proceed to step 3.

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

RCR Selected

Program/Enter

4. Press ENTER to save the setting. The display will show:

Auto Print: Off

Program/Enter

Now your machine is asking whether it should print the selected report automatically after every fax you send.

If you see the printing setting you want, skip to step 6. Otherwise, proceed to step 5.

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

Auto Print: On

Program/Enter

6. Press ENTER to save the setting.

Your fax machine also lets you override this setting for just the next fax transmission. This means you can choose not to print to report even if you’ve specified “Auto Print: On” — which might make sense if you were low on paper and didn’t really need a report on this particular transmission, On the other hand, it also means you can choose to go ahead and print the report although you’ve specified “Auto Print: Off” — which could let you get peace-of-mind on a really important transmission without forcing you to print a report after all the other transmissions!

So, to turn on or turn off the confirmation report feature for only the next fax transmission:
