Beyond the basics
As you’ve probably guessed by now, your fax machine is a great phone, too! Let’s see
just how good it is by looking briefly at the machine’s telephone features.
Important: All of the instructions on this page assume you have attached an
optional handset to your fax machine.
Redial
Press
REDIAL
/
PAUSE
to — you guessed it! — redial the last number you dialed. (Be
sure that attempt, too, was also a regular phone call. In a multi-user setting, some-
one else may have quickly sent a fax without your knowing it.)
Hold
You can put a call on hold during a conversation by pressing
HOLD
/
DIALING OPTIONS
.
The
LCD
will show:
At this point, you can either hang up the handset or leave it off the hook. To return
to your conversation:
• If you hung up the handset, pick it up.
• If you didn’t hang up the handset, press
HOLD
/
DIALING OPTIONS
again.
You can EasyDial regular phone calls, too
Just in case you didn’t notice, the EasyDial directory dialing feature is available for
regular phone calls as well as fax calls. Review the EasyDial instructions on page 2.14
for more information.
On-hook dialing
Because your machine has a monitor speaker, you can dial without picking up the
handset. For hands-free dialing:
1
Press
MONITOR
/
CALL
. You’ll hear a dial tone (unless you have set your speaker
volume to Off; see page 1.8–1.9), and the
LCD
will show:
2
Dial the number you want. You may use either the numeric keypad, a one-
touch key or a speed-dial number.
Note: Remember, your fax machine’s monitor speaker is not a speakerphone. Be
sure to pick up the handset if the other person answers!
Note: You can also dial a fax call this way if, for some reason, you want to hear
the other machine’s answering fax tones. (Make sure there’s a document in
the feeder.) When you do hear those tones, press
START
to send the docu-
ment.
Changing the dialing type
If your fax machine is on a pulse (not tone-dialing) line, switch from pulse dialing to
tone (
DTMF
) dialing. Use the # (pound) key on the numeric keypad (the
LCD
will show)
after the actual phone number but before any characters (such as a long-distance
carrier’s access code) which must be in
DTMF
tone.
Note: Do not use on a tone line.
Note: When you hang up the handset, your machine will return to “pulse” dialing
for the next call.
Dialing in the event of a power failure
Your fax machine can receive a telephone call using your handset even in the event
of a power failure, but it cannot send or receive a fax document.
