COMMUNICATION OPTIONS

Beyond the basics

1. Press REVIEW COMMANDS twice. The LCD will show:

Conf.Report :Off

Program/Enter

2. To change the setting, press PROGRAM.

The “On” setting activates automatic printing of a confirmation report, and the “Off” setting disable this printing, for only the next transmission.

Following the next transmission, your fax machine will return to the setting you specified previously (in step 5 on previous page).

Polling

Polling allows someone to fax a document to you without the other person having to make (and pay for) the call. Your machine can perform:

∙Regular polling — Retrieves a document from the remote fax machine.

∙Database polling, Muratec-proprietary— (Possible only in communication with certain memory-equipped Muratec or Murata fax machines.) Retrieves a document stored as a file in the remote fax machine’s memory. Great for getting work assignments, updated price lists, contest standings and other frequently updated documents.

∙Continuous polling — Retrieves continuously a document from any remote fax machine for the designated time. For example, a hospital pharmacy can use this to check on orders waiting in other faxes in the hospital.

∙Database polling using ITU-T-standard sub-addressing — This allows you to perform database polling in communication with not only other Muratec (or compatible) fax machines, but also other makers’ machines.

How to use the ITU-Tsub-address, see “F-Code communication” (pages 2.49–2.59).

Regular polling

To perform regular polling of a document from any remote fax machine:

3. Enter the remote machine’s number by either pressing a one-touch key, entering a speed-dial number or just dialing the number normally through the numeric keypad.

When it performs the polling command, your machine will dial the number and, upon making contact with the other machine, begin receiving the document as if the other machine had placed the call.

Database polling

To poll a document from a remote fax machine’s memory:

1. Make sure that:

•The remote fax machine is a memory-equipped Muratec or Murata fax machine which has a file stored in its memory, ready for polling.

•You know the one- or two-digit database file number of each file you wish to poll from the remote machine.

2.Press COMMUNICATION OPTIONS four times and ENTER once. The display will show:
