ADVANCED FEATURES

Short Preamble

Short Preamble slightly reduces communication costs between machines produced by the same manufacturer. This feature reduces the length of signals exchanged between the machines during communication.

If you are interested in this feature, contact a service technician to have it switched on.

Note: Short Preamble may cause problems with long distance and international calls. If you suspect that such problems are occurring, store the number as a Quick Dial or Speed Dial. Then call a service technician and discuss the matter. Tell the technician the Speed Dial/Quick Dial that you stored the telephone number in.

AI Short Protocol

This feature employs Artificial Intelligence (AI) to learn the communication characteristics of the machines programmed as Speed Dials or Quick Dials. AI Short Protocol helps you to reduce communication costs between machines produced by the same manufacturer. AI Short Protocol only works if you dial using Quick Dial, Speed Dial, or AI Redial; also, the machine at the other end must have the AI Short Protocol feature.

When you send a fax message, the two machines carry out a handshaking procedure, during which they establish the best way to communicate with each other. Using AI Short Protocol, this handshaking procedure only takes place in full the first time you dial a particular number. Your machine remembers the optimum communication parameters for calling that number. The next time you dial that number, the machine will remember these parameters and the preliminary handshaking will be significantly reduced, saving communication costs.

If you are interested in this feature, contact a service technician to have it switched on.

Note: AI Short Protocol may cause problems with long distance and interna - tional calls. If you suspect that such problems are occurring, store the number as a Quick Dial or Speed Dial. Then call a service technician and discuss the matter. Tell the technician the Speed Dial/Quick Dial that you stored the telephone number in.
