SETUP GUIDE

Before you can begin using your fax, there are some settings which must be made with the keys on the operation panel. Some of the settings are required for basic use of your fax, others may or may not be necessary depending on how you want to use the fax. The procedures for making the settings are described in this chapter in the order shown below (with the exception of Caller ID).

Required settings:

Entering your name and fax/telephone number in the fax

Setting the fax to the current date and time

Selecting the reception mode

Answering machine set-up

Settings which may be necessary:

Distinctive ringing: If you subscribe to a distinctive ringing service from your telephone company (this is a service which allows you to use several different devices, each with its own phone number and ringing pattern, on one line), you may want to select ringing patterns for the fax and/or the built-in answering machine.

Caller ID: If you subscribe to a Caller ID service from your telephone company, the fax will display and retain information which the telephone company provides about each call. To use this feature, reset Option Setting 13 as described in Chapter 8, "Optional Settings". For information on using Caller ID, see "Caller ID" in Chapter 7.

Other settings:

Storing numbers for automatic dialing: Automatic dialing allows you to dial a full fax or phone number by simply pressing a Rapid Key, or by pressing the SPEED DIAL key and entering a 2-digit number. To use automatic dialing, you must store the desired fax and phone numbers in the fax.

Volume adjustment: Adjustment of the volume of the speaker, handset, and ringer.
