Contrast
Setting the contrast allows you to compensate for any excessive lightness or dark-
ness in the documents you send or copy.
You have three choices:
• Normal — Suited to most documents.
• Light — Lightens up overly dark, “muddy” original documents.
• Dark — Darkens weak, “washed-out” images.
Note: To avoid confusion, remember that the
LIGHT
contrast setting lightens and
DARK
contrast setting darkens.
To change the resolution, press
CONTRAST
repeatedly. A glowing
LED
(light-emitting diode) indicates the fax is using that setting. For exam-
ple, in the drawing at left, the machine is set for dark contrast. If neither
the
LIGHT
nor
DARK LED
is glowing, your fax is set for normal contrast.
Entering a pause character when dialing
Some long-distance systems require dialing pauses, and pauses may also be
required when dialing through special telephone exchanges.
To insert a pause character, just press
REDIAL
/
PAUSE
after you have dialed at least
one other character. The pause character (
-/ )
will appear on the display.
Each pause entered lasts for a factory-set five seconds, but can be changed to last
for as long as 10 seconds. (See “Changing the pause length,” to change this setting.)
For example, assuming the pause is at the factory setting, pressing 9,
REDIAL
/
PAUSE
, 19725552009 dials 9 [5-second pause] 1 9 7 2 5 5 5 2 0 0 9.
Important: Each pause uses two of the characters you are allowed in a number.
Changing the pause length
The pause is set by the factory to last five seconds, but you can set it to last as long
as ten seconds if necessary. If you find the five-second pause satisfactory with your
phone system, do not make this change. But if want to change it:

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 4.
If not, go on to step 3.

Use the numeric keypad to enter the length you want for the dialing pause.
You can choose between five and 10 seconds.
Here, we chose nine seconds.
Note: The length setting requires two digits. Always enter a leading zero for
lengths other than 10 seconds.

Potential problems with call-waiting and voice mail
Telephone call-waiting signals can stop fax transmission and reception. And any
service — such as voice mail — which may intercept your calls can keep your fax
machine from getting fax calls.
If you must use only one phone line for both your phone and fax, consult your tele-
phone company for information on how you can temporarily disable call-waiting or
voice mail while using the fax machine.
