Getting started
Note: To avoid confusing the Light and Dark settings, just remember —
“Light lightens” and “Dark darkens” — to keep it straight.
Entering a pause character when dialing
Some long-distance systems require dialing pauses, and pauses can also be useful
when you’re dialing through special telephone exchanges.
To insert a pause character, just press
REDIAL
/
PAUSE
after you’ve dialed at least one
other character.
-/
(the pause character) will appear on the display.
Each pause entered lasts for a factory-set two seconds (see “Changing the pause
length,” below, for instructions to change this setting).
For example, if the pause is at the factory setting, pressing 9,
REDIAL
/
PAUSE
,
19725552009 dials 9 [2-second pause] 1 9 7 2 5 5 5 2 0 0 9.
Important: Each pause uses two of the characters you’re allowed in a number.
Changing the pause length
The pause is set by the factory to last two seconds, but you can set it to last as long
as ten seconds if necessary. To change the pause length:
1
Press
PROGRAM
,
J
,0,4,
ENTER
.
2
Use the numeric keypad to enter the length you want for the dialing pause.
Here, we’ve chosen nine seconds.
Note: The length setting requires two digits. Always enter a leading zero for
lengths less 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 receiving fax calls.
If you use only one line for both phone and fax, consult your telephone company to
see how you can temporarily disable call-waiting or voice mail while using the fax
machine.
Using memory transmission
Your fax machine has a great memory! Take advantage of it, and you could:
Save Time. By using your fax machine’s memory, you won’t have to wait for your
machine while it completes the transmission. Simply scan your document into your
fax machine’s memory, and you can walk away with your original in hand.
Save Money. If you’re transmitting to another memory-equipped fax machine, your
machine will send the document directly into the other machine’s memory and hang
up. (The receiving machine then prints out your message from its memory after the
call has ended.) This cuts your actual on-line time to a minimum.
Save Even More Money. Set up a delayed command (see pages 2.17–2.19) to send
your document after hours, and you can save more money, because the line charges
will be cheaper.
You can set your fax to transmit from memory as the default.
Note: Whether you decide to send your documents from memory or manually, you
can override that choice one transmission at a time by pressing
MEMORY TRANSMIT
before you send your document. After completing the
communication, your fax will return to the default setting.
Note: Some documents use up memory more quickly than others. They include
documents with many pages and those with many dark areas. When the
machine’s memory is full, it can transmit only through the document feeder.
Note: When you use the flatbed scanner, the machine always uses memory trans-
mission.
To make memory transmission the default:
1
Press /
PROGRAM
,
J
,1,3,
ENTER
.
2
Press or /
PROGRAM
until the mode you want appears.
In this example, we’ve chosen Off.
3
Press
ENTER
to save the setting.
If the
MEMORY TRANSMIT
light glows, memory transmission is on.
If the
MEMORY TRANSMIT
light doesn’t glow, memory transmission is off.
