Muratec Series 41500E, MFX-1500E Call request, Ring Pattern, Faxing/receiving first, then talking

Beyond the Basics
To use DRD on your fax machine:
1	Contact your phone company to make sure it has set up DRD service for you. If
	possible, also find out which distinctive ring pattern the phone company has
	assigned you.
2	Press		/PROGRAM, J, 2, 0, ENTER. The LCD shows:
		DRD			:Off
				Program/Enter
3
	Press		or	/PROGRAM until the mode you want appears.
	Here, we’ve chosen On.
		DRD			:On
				Program/Enter
4
	Press ENTER.
		Ring Pattern			:A
				Program/Enter
5
	Press		or	/PROGRAM until the pattern you want appears.
	Here, we’ve chosen “C”.
		Ring Pattern			:C
				Program/Enter

6 Press ENTER to set your machine to the displayed ring pattern.

Important: If your telephone company gives you only very general ring pattern specifications, or if you encounter a problem while using your machine’s DRD feature, please try ALL of the listed ring patterns. If you still have a problem after trying all of the patterns, please call the Muratec Customer Support Center. (From the United States, call 972-364-3350. For the number to call from Canada, check the documentation found inside your fax machine’s box).

Important: With your machine set for using DRD, it won’t respond to any ring pat- tern other than the one you selected above. To reset the fax so it will respond once again to normal rings, repeat steps 2–4, above — except, in step 3, toggle it to “Off.” Your fax will now respond normally.

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 way disables “V.34” mode, causing the fax machine to handle the call in normal ITU-TGroup 3 fashion. See page 3.20 for more information.

Faxing/receiving first, then talking

To send or receive a fax first and then talk:

1	While your fax machine is sending or receiving the fax, press MONITOR/CALL.
2	At the remote fax machine, the ringer will sound after that machine receives
	each page.
3	If 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:

1 When you’ve finished your phone conversation, don’t hang up.

2 Insert the document you want to fax.

3 Adjust the resolution and contrast if necessary.

4 Tell the person at the other fax machine to press START and to hang up his/her handset. Don’t hang up your handset yet!

5 When you hear fax tones, press START and hang up your fax machine’s optional handset. Your fax machine will send the document.
