BUSY TONE DETECT: If this function is enabled, your fax machine listens for a busy signal tone
when you are sending a fax. If it detects a busy tone, it will immediately hang up and enter the
redial mode.
DIAL TONE DETECT: When this function is turned on, your fax machine will check for a dial tone
before dialing a number. The default setting is off.
REDIAL TRIES: This function controls how many times your fax machine will automatically redial a
number which is busy or which does not answer. Available settings are from 0 to 10 tries.
REDIAL INTERVAL: The function controls how long your fax machine waits between each
automatic redial attempt. Available settings are from 1 to 6 minutes.
MF/DP: This function controls what method your fax machine uses for dialing. Two dialing methods
are in common use. DP, or dial pulse dialing, uses monotone pulses to dial a number (like a
rotary telephone). MF, or multi-frequency dialing (touch tone), uses different tones to dial a
number. Available settings are MF and DP.
PBX LINE: Turn this function on if your fax machine is connected to a PBX. Once this function has
been turned on and the access digit function has been programmed, your fax machine will
recognize the access digit you use in your PBX to get an outside line. After it dials your access
digit, your fax machine will pause to wait for an outside line before dialing the rest of the
telephone number. Available settings are on and off. See Connecting to a PBX in the Installation
chapter for instructions on changing this setting.
PBX TYPE: If your fax machine is connected to a PBX, this function tells your fax machine about
the type of PBX line your fax machine if connected to. Available settings are normal, flash and
earth. If you do not know the proper setting, contact your service dealer or in-house telephone
administrator.
AUTO START: When this function is turned on, your fax machine will automatically begin dialing as
soon as you have selected a location by pressing a One Touch key or entering an Auto Dial
code. You do not have to press Start. If this function is turned off, you will need to press Start
before dialing will begin. Disabling Auto Start will allow you to confirm the location of your
transmission before dialing; after you have confirmed the location, press Start to begin the
transmission. Available settings are on and off.
ACCESS DIGIT: If your fax machine is connected to a PBX, use this function to tell your fax
machine what access number is used to obtain an outside line from your PBX. You can enter up
to 4 digits. When your fax machine recognizes the first number dialed as the access digit, it will
automatically insert a pause to access an outside line. See Connecting to a PBX in the
Installation chapter for instructions on changing this setting.
