ADVANCED FEATURES

Your Machine as a Transfer Station (Memory Card or Hard Disk

Required)

Your machine can be a Transfer Station for other people to use for their Transfer Requests.

If the requesting party is using a machine of the same manufacturer as your machine, they must perform the Transfer Request procedure given after page 87. Any requesting party must have the same ID Code as your machine’s.

However, if the requesting party is using a machine made by another manufacturer, or if they couldn’t get the Transfer Request procedure to work, you will have to set up the Transfer Request by Tonal Signals feature in your machine (see below).

If you do not wish to have your machine available as a Transfer Station, contact a service technician and ask to have this feature switched off.

Another way to restrict use of this feature is to make sure that all requesting

parties must have their identifiers stored, so that you do not receive Transfer Requests from unknown parties. See the bottom of page 131 for more details on this.

Transfer Request by Tonal Signals

This feature allows your machine to accept Transfer Requests made from the requesting side using Dial Tones. An operation of this type can succeed only if the following conditions have been met.

The requester’s fax machine must be connected to a telephone line that can accept DTMF (tone dial) signals, or must be able to generate Tonal Signals (see page 115).

Your fax machine’s reception mode must be Auto Receive.

Your fax machine’s remote ID must have been programmed.

Transfer Request by Tonal Signals must have been switched on.

Setting the Machine up for Transfer Request by Tonal Signals

You must do the following to use this feature:

Set up the machine in Auto Receive mode (see page 74).

Program the Remote ID (Function 61, see below)

The other party will have to enter this code every time they access your machine to make a Transfer Request using a machine that is not of the same manufacturer as this machine.

Switch Transfer Request by Tonal Signals On (Function 91, see below). In a new machine, it is switched on in the factory.
