Working With The Printer And The Fax Machine At The Same Time - Epson 60 Operator's Manual

INTRODUCTION

Working with the Printer and the Fax Machine at the Same Time

In a few cases, the machine can handle two tasks at the same time. The following ta-
bles show how to operate the machine while a job is currently in progress.
1. If you wish to print a file from the computer while the fax machine is busy
Current Task (Fax Machine)
Immediate Transmission
Memory Transmission
Scanning a document and storing it to memory
Receiving a fax message
Printing a fax message from memory
Making a copy
2. If you wish to use the fax machine (or if someone tries to send you a fax message)
while you are printing a file from the computer
Desired Use of the Fax Machine
Immediate Transmission
Memory Transmission
Scanning a document and storing it to memory
Receiving a fax message
Printing a fax message from memory
Making a copy
Note: You can tell if the machine is printing a file from the computer by looking at
the indicator (you can tell by looking at the indicator even if the machine is
in fax standby mode). When it is flashing, the computer is sending data to the
printer. When it is steady, only printing is taking place; the computer is not
sending data.
If the indicator remains steady but nothing is being printed, see Form Feed on
page 14.
While the machine is in printer mode (Function 35), the machine cannot re-
ceive fax messages.
