CALLER ID
If you subscribe to a caller identification service from your telephone company, you can set your fax to display the name and number of the caller while the fax rings. The fax will also store information about unanswerered calls which you can view in the display or print out as a list. This allows you to screen your calls as they come in, and makes it easy to respond to callers who do not leave messages.
To use the Caller ID function, set Option Setting 13 to YES and enter your area code as described in Chapter 8, "Optional Settings".

The
How Caller ID operates
When you receive a call, the name and phone number of the caller will alternately appear in the display, beginning just before the second ring. The information will continue to be displayed until you pick up the handset, or until the fax answers automatically if it is in TAD or FAX mode.
Note: Some caller ID services may not provide the name of the caller. In this case, only the phone number will appear.
