Your fax machine has numerous special features to make your communications easier.
We’ll cover them here.
Soft Keys
Soft Keys are shortcut keys. You can program the soft keys on the control panel to
turn on or off any function with just the touch of a button. Your machine has four
Soft Keys. If the light above any one of these keys glows, that means the setting
programmed into that key is active.
These keys are programmed at the factory to turn the following functions on or off:
• Memory transmission (see page 1.13)
• Confirmation stamp (see page 2.6)
• Security reception (see page 2.60–2.61)
• Department codes (see page 2.66)
Note: The keys that are programmed at the factory turn the functions above them
on and off, but only for the next transmission that you send from your fax
machine. Once that transmission is complete, your machine returns to its
default setting.
But instead of using the Soft Keys to control the functions above, you can program
them to turn other functions on or off. These functions are:
• Activity journal printouts (see page 2.27)
• Half-page reception (see page 2.3)
• ECM (see page 2.4)
• Closed network (see page 2.64)
• Cover page (see page 2.26)
• Operation protection (see page 2.59)
• Quick memory transmission (see page 2.29)
• Department protection (see page 2.67)
• Copy & Fax feature (see page 2.25)
• Access to alternative telephone network (see page 2.33)
• Flash signal (see page 2.7)
Note: And instead of just turning the function on or off for the next transmission,
as the factory-set keys do, changing the Soft Key settings actually sets the
default for your fax machine. (These default settings can be changed, if
necessary. They are not permanent.)
