Fax Features Getting Started
Call request
You can send or receive a fax message and have a regular phone conversation on the
same call (although, not at the same time). This is called a call request. It doesn’t
matter whether you’re sending the fax or receiving it. You may fax first and then
talk, or talk first and then fax.
Important: For this feature to work, the remote fax machine must have a similar
call-request capability. Your machine must also have an optional
handset attached.
Note: Communicating this wa y disables “V.34” mode, causing the fax machine to
handle the call in normal

Faxing/receiving first, then talking
To send or receive a fax first and then talk:
1While your fax machine is sending or receiving the fax, press
MONITOR
/
CALL
.
2At the remote fax machine, the ringer will sound after that machine receives
each page.
3If someone answers at the remote fax machine, your fax machine will ring
several times. If so, pick up the optional handset. In a few seconds, the line
will open and you can begin your conversation.
Talking first, then sending a fax
To talk first and then send a fax:
1When you’ve finished your phone conversation, don’t hang up.
2Insert the document you want to fax.
3Adjust the resolution and contrast if necessary.
4Tell the person at the other fax machine to press

and to hang up
his/her handset. Don’t hang up your handset yet!
5When you hear fax tones, press
START
and hang up your fax machine’s
optional handset. Your fax machine will send the document.
Talking first, then receiving a fax
To talk first and then receive a fax:
1When you’ve finished your phone conversation, don’t hang up.
2Tell the person at the other fax machine to press

3When you hear fax tones, press

Responding to a call request
If someone requests a call from you during a fax communication, you’ll hear a long
ring after the receiving machine has received each page. To answer the call request:
1Lift your machine’s optional handset, and listen for a few seconds. You may
hear a brief series of fax tones.
2Shortly, the line will open and the person at the other end of the line will
answer. You and the other person now can have a normal phone conversation.
The power of QuadAccess®
Your fax machine’s QuadAccess feature sharply reduces the time you might spend
waiting for the machine to finish its work. QuadAccess is a more powerful version of
what already is a pretty powerful feature, called dual access. While a fax with normal
dual access allows you to do two things at once, QuadAccess allows you to do four
operations at once. For example, even if the machine is (1) printing a copy, (2) trans-
mitting from memory and (3) scanning documents for a different memory
transmission, you can still (4) program the machine.
