Muratec MFX-1500E - Manual (Page 80)

Beyond the Basics
To use DRD on your fax machine:
1 Contact your phone company to make sure it has set up DRD service for you. If
possible, also find out which distinctive ring pattern the phone company has
assigned you.
2 Press / PROGRAM , J , 2, 0, ENTER . The LCD shows:
3 Press or / PROGRAM until the mode you want appears.
Here, we’ve chosen On.
4 Press ENTER .
5 Press or / PROGRAM until the pattern you want appears.
Here, we’ve chosen “ C ”.
6 Press ENTER to set your machine to the displayed ring pattern.
Important: If your telephone company gives you only very general ring pattern
specifications, or if you encounter a problem while using your
machine’s
DRD feature, please try ALL of the listed ring patterns.
If you still have a problem after trying all of the patterns, please call
the Muratec Customer Support Center. (From the United States, call
972-364-3350. For the number to call from Canada, check the
documentation found inside your fax machine’s box).
Important: With your machine set for using DRD , it won’t respond to any ring pat-
tern other than the one you selected above. To reset the fax so it will
respond once again to normal rings, repeat steps 2–4, above — except,
in step 3, toggle it to “Off.” Your fax will now respond normally.
Call request
You can send or receive a fax message and have a regular phone conversation on the
same call (although, 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. Your machine must also have an optional
handset attached.
Note: Communicating this way disables “V.34” mode, causing the fax machine to
handle the call in normal ITU - T Group 3 fashion. See page 3.20 for more
information.
Faxing/receiving first, then talking
To send or receive a fax first and then talk:
1 While your fax machine is sending or receiving the fax, press MONITOR / CALL .
2 At the remote fax machine, the ringer will sound 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 optional handset. In a few seconds, the line
will open and you can begin your conversation.
Talking first, then sending a fax
To talk first and then send a fax:
1 When you’ve finished your phone conversation, don’t hang up.
2 Insert the document you want to fax.
3 Adjust the 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 hang up your fax machine’s
optional handset. Your fax machine will send the document.
