Call Request; Faxing/Receiving First, Then Talking; Talking First, Then Sending A Fax - Pitney Bowes 4100 Operator's Manual

Call request

Wondering why your monitor speaker's activation key is called
MONITOR/CALL? Now, we'll explain the CALL part of the name. It may
be hard to believe, but you actually can send or receive a fax and have a
regular phone conversation on the same call (although, obviously, not at
the same time). This is called a call request. It doesn't matter whether
you're sending the fax or receiving it. You may fax first and then talk, or
talk first and then fax.
Important: For this feature to work, the remote fax machine must
have a similar call-request capability. Also, of course, your
machine must have a handset attached.

Faxing/receiving first, then talking

1. While your machine is sending or receiving the fax, press MONITOR/
CALL.
2. At the remote fax machine, the ringer will ring after that machine
receives each page.
3. If someone answers at the remote fax machine, your fax machine will
ring several times. If so, pick up the handset. In a few seconds, the
line will open and you can begin your conversation.

Talking first, then sending a fax

1. When your phone conversation is through, don't hang up.
2. Insert the document you wish to fax.
3. Adjust resolution and contrast if necessary.
4. Tell the person at the other fax machine to press START and to hang
up his/her handset. Don't hang up your handset yet!
5. When you hear fax tones, press START and — now! — hang up your
fax machine's optional handset. Your fax machine will send the
document.
