Page 28: About Fax Machines
About fax machines If you’ve never used an MFC before, it might seem a little mysterious. But you’ll soon recognize the unusual fax tones on your phone line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily. Fax tones and handshake When someone is sending a fax, the MFC sends fax calling tones (CNG tones).
Page 29: Ecm (Error Correction Mode)
The fax ‘handshake’ is the time in which the sending machine’s CNG tones and the receiving machines “chirps” overlap. This must be for at least 2 to 4 seconds, so the machines can understand how each is sending and receiving the fax. The handshake cannot begin until the call is answered, and the CNG tones only last for about 60 seconds after the number is dialed.
Page 30: Connecting The Mfc
Connecting the MFC Connecting an External Telephone Although your MFC does not have a handset, you can connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering device) on the same line. Connect a separate telephone to the machine, as shown below. Extension Telephone External Telephone...
Page 31: Connecting An External Telephone Answering Device (Tad)
Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD) Sequence You may choose to connect an answering device. However, when you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the MFC, the TAD answers all calls and the MFC “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones.
Page 32 Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line. (Example for the U.K.) 1 - 12 INTRODUCTION...
Page 33: Connections
Connections You may connect an external TAD to your machine, as shown below. (Example for the U.K.) Set your external TAD to two rings or less. Record the outgoing message (next page). Set the TAD to answer calls. INTRODUCTION 1 - 13...
Page 34: Recording Outgoing Message (Ogm) On An External Tad
Recording Outgoing Message (OGM) on an External TAD Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception. Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.) Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
Page 35 The inadvisable configuration is shown in figure 1 below, and the recommended master/slave configuration is shown in figure 2. This new connection configuration can be arranged by your contacting BT, Kingston upon Hull Telecommunications, your PABX maintainer or a qualified telephone installation company as appropriate.
Page 36: Multi-Line Connections (Pbx)
Multi-Line Connections (PBX) Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to connect the machine to a key system or a PBX (Private Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact the company that installed your telephone system and ask them to connect the MFC for you.
Page 37: Paper
Paper About paper The print quality of your document can be affected by the kind of paper you use in the MFC. To ensure the best print quality for the settings you’ve chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load. You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes.

Page 71: Setting The Ring Delay
Setting the Ring Delay The Ring Delay sets the number of times the MFC rings before it answers in FAX, FAX/TEL and TAD:MSG MGR mode. If you have extension phones or external answering machine on the same line as the MFC or subscribe to the telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service, keep the Ring Delay setting of 4.
Page 72: Setting Toll Saver
Setting Toll Saver When you set the toll saver feature, the MFC answers after four rings if you don’t have voice or fax messages, and after two rings if you do have voice or fax messages. This way, when you call the MFC for remote retrieval and let it ring three times, you know you have no messages, and can hang up, to avoid a toll charge.
Page 73: Setting The F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel Mode Only)
Setting the F/T Ring Time (FAX/TEL mode only) If you set the Receive Mode to FAX/TEL, you’ll need to decide how long the MFC will signal you with its special pseudo/double-ring when you have a voice call. (If it’s a fax call, the MFC prints the fax.) This ringing happens after the initial ringing from the phone company.
Page 74: Fax Detect
Fax Detect Fax Start When you use this feature, you don’t have to press or the Remote Activation Code when you answer a fax call and hear calling beeps.

Page 75: Printing A Reduced Incoming Fax (Auto Reduction)
Printing a reduced incoming fax (Auto Reduction) If you choose ON, the MFC reduces an incoming fax automatically, so that it fits on to one page of A4 size paper. If the sending document is too long, the MFC may print onto 2 pages. If the sending document is too long, the MFC may not be able to reduce onto one page and may print onto 2 pages.
