Common questions
If you have a question about using your fax machine, read the section
that applies to your particular question.
General questions
Q: Where do I add ink or toner to make my fax machine's printouts
darker?
A: You can't adjust the darkness of an incoming fax printout, but you can
adjust the darkness of a copy (or copies) of a transmission. Insert a
document and press CONTRAST repeatedly to adjust the contrast
setting. "Dark" prints at the darkest setting. The machine will reset
automatically to normal contrast after the copying or sending.
Q: When I unplug my machine or if the power goes off, will I lose the
information I've stored — such as my TTI, Autodialer entries, the
time and date, etc. — and have to re-enter them?
A: No. There's a special battery built into your fax machine which
protects user settings for several days if power fails or if you decide to
move your machine. However, while the battery will last for years, we
do advise you to restore power to the machine as soon as possible.
Q: Can I use a dust cover on my fax machine?
A: No! A dust cover blocks air circulation, which could cause your
machine to overheat. (See page 25 for other guidelines.)
Sending faxes
Q: Sometimes, I try to send a fax while using either the handset or the
MONITOR/CALL feature. But, when the other side answers, I hear
a horrible screeching sound, so I hang up. What's happening?
A: That was the other fax machine trying to say "Hello" to your machine!
You'll hear sounds like that any time you call a fax machine which is
set to answer automatically (as when you set your machine to Fax
Ready mode). It's by using these tones that fax machines send faxes
over ordinary phone lines. So, next time you hear such tones, press
START (and, if you're using the handset, hang up) to send a fax.
