Power Failures and Memory
If power to your fax machine is interrupted, the problems listed below will occur.
!You can prevent these problems by installing an optional memory expansion board with a battery back-
up system that protects stored information for at least one hour.
•Any messages your fax machine has scanned into its memory but not yet transmitted will be lost. This includes messages stored for bulletin polling.
•Any messages your fax machine has received into its memory but not yet printed will be lost.
•If you have loaded documents on your fax machine’s document feeder, any dialing or transmission settings will be lost.
•Redial information is lost.
When power is restored, your fax machine prints a power outage report to inform you of the power failure. Use this report to determine which received messages you may have
lost, and to determine which transmissions you may have to resend. Refer to the “Reports” section of this handbook for more information.
Using Voice Request
The voice request feature allows you to have a conversation with a person at a remote fax machine after a fax communication is finished. Either the person sending or receiving the fax can initiate a voice request.
If you are sending a fax, you can answer a voice request only after all pages have been transmitted. If you are receiving a fax, you can answer a voice request after reception of each page.
You will know if the person on the other fax machine has issued a voice request when you hear a warbling tone. If you do not respond in approximately six seconds, the voice request is automatically cancelled.
