General questions
Q: Where do I add ink or toner to make my fax machine’s printouts darker?
A: You can’t adjust the darkness of an incoming fax printout, but you can adjust
the darkness of a copy (or copies) or of a transmission. Insert a document and
press
CONTRAST
repeatedly to adjust the contrast setting. “Dark” prints at the
darkest setting. The machine will reset automatically to normal contrast after
the copying or sending.
Note: You can’t adjust the darkness of an incoming fax printout.
Q: When I unplug my machine or if the power goes off, will I lose the information
I’ve stored — such as my
TTI
, autodialer entries, the time and date, etc. — and
have to re-enter them?
A: No. There’s a special battery built into your fax machine which protects user
settings for several days if power fails or if you decide to move your machine.
However, while the battery will last for years, we do advise you to restore
power to the machine as soon as possible.
Q: Can I use a dust cover on my fax machine?
A: No! A dust cover blocks air circulation, which could cause your machine to
overheat. (See page 1.6 for other guidelines.)
Sending faxes
Q: Sometimes, I try to send a fax while using either the (optional) handset or the
MONITOR
/
CALL
feature. But, when the other side answers, I hear a horrible
screeching sound, so I hang up. What’s happening?
A: That was the other fax machine trying to say “Hello” to your machine! You’ll
hear sounds like that any time you call a fax machine which is set to answer
automatically (as when you set your machine to Fax Ready mode). It’s by using
these tones that fax machines send faxes over ordinary phone lines. So, next
time you hear such tones, press
START
(and, if you’re using an optional handset,
hang up) to send a fax.
Q: I just sent a fax. However, the number that appeared in my machine’s display
during the transmission wasn’t the number I dialed. Why?
A: That number you saw is programmed into the remote fax machine by the user.
Some users (perhaps for privacy’s sake?) prefer different numbers to appear
than the ones they’re really using; and, frankly, some people take over other’s
already-programmed fax machines and don’t know how to change the originally
set number!
Q: Can I transmit and receive at the same time?
A: No. Use the call request feature (see pages 2.34–2.35) to ask the person at the
remote fax machine if he or she wants to transmit or receive after your fax
communication is complete.
Q: Do I have to dial a 1 for a long-distance call?
A: Yes. Dialing a fax number is just like dialing any other phone number, so be
sure to include any special long-distance codes or dialing pauses when dialing.
Also, remember to include them when you set your autodialer numbers.
