Confirming Transmission
When the last page of your document has been sent
successfully, the machine beeps and returns to the
Ready state. If something goes wrong during the fax
transmission, an error message appears on the LCD
panel.
Use the Compaq A1500 Settings Utility to print a
confirmation report each time faxing is complete or
when there is an error. See the “Compaq A1500
Settings Utility” section on Fax settings.
Redial
Pressing the Redial button dials the number that was
last entered. You can also modify the number using the
Clear button and the numeric keypad.
Automatic Redial
When you send a fax, if the number you have dialed is
busy or there is no answer, the A1500 hangs up, waits
for a specified interval, and redials the number. When
this occurs, the LCD panel shows the retry count and
the number of minutes left before the next retry. If
after a specified number of retry attempts (retry count)
the All-In-One fails to connect, the machine returns to
the Ready state.
Set the retry interval and count using the Compaq A1500
Settings Utility.
Press the Stop button to stop sending a fax that is
trying to transmit. Pressing the Stop button during the
retry period will bring up the following message:
If more than one job is trying to transmit, use the
Options button to select the job you want to stop then
press the Stop button to stop your selection.
Pressing the Start button while a retry is waiting for
the retry interval to complete will cause the retry to
start immediately.
Receiving a Fax
The A1500 All-In-One has four receiving modes. The
current receive mode is displayed in the top right
corner of the LCD panel when the A1500 is in Ready
mode.
You can change the Fax Receive Mode either on the
computer using the A1500 Settings Utility or by
pressing the Setup button on the front control panel.
While you are printing from the computer to the All-In-One, an
incoming fax will be received into memory. The memory can
store up to 80 pages. However, other tasks such as copying or
sending a fax may temporarily reduce the amount of memory
available.
Receiving Automatically in FAX Mode
In FAX mode, the A1500 answers an incoming call on
the second ring and receives the fax automatically.
Use the Settings Utility to change the number of rings
the A1500 will wait before answering the call.
The fax mode is recommended when you have a dedicated
telephone line for your Compaq A1500.
Receiving Automatically in ANS/FAX Mode
To use this mode, you must attach an answering
machine to the EXT socket on the All-In-One.
In ANS/FAX mode, your answering machine answers
the incoming call and the caller can leave a message
on the answering machine. If a fax tone is on the line,
the call automatically switches from the answering
machine to the A1500.
If your answering machine has a user-selectable ring
counter, set it to answer calls within the fewest
possible rings.
If your answering machine is turned off, or no answering
machine is connected to the A1500, the A1500 will
automatically attempt to receive a fax after 6 rings.
Receiving Manually in TEL Mode
This feature works best when you are using an
extension telephone connected to the EXT jack on the
A1500.
In TEL mode, automatic fax reception is turned OFF.
If you receive a call on the extension telephone and
hear fax tones, you can receive the incoming fax by
pressing *9* (star-nine-star) or by pressing the Start
button twice on the control panel. Once the A1500
starts receiving the document, hang up the handset.
Receiving Automatically in DRPD Mode
In DRPD (Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection) mode,
the A1500 will answer a call on the line that has a
distinctive ring pattern.
