Getting started
Changing the pause length
The pause is set by the factory to last five seconds, but you can set it to last as long
as ten seconds if necessary. If you find the five-second pause is satisfactory when
you use it with your phone system, do not make this change. But, if you must:
1 Press / PROGRAM , J , 0, 5, ENTER .
If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 3.
Otherwise, proceed to step 2.
2 Use the numeric keypad to enter the desired length of the dialing pause.
Here, we’ve chosen nine seconds.
Note: The length setting requires two digits, so there always must be a lead-
ing zero for lengths other than 10 seconds.
3 Press ENTER to save the setting.
Potential problems with call-waiting and voice mail
Telephone call-waiting signals can stop fax transmission and reception. And, of
course, any service — such as voice mail — which may intercept your calls can keep
your fax machine from getting fax calls.
If you must use only one phone line, please consult your telephone company for
information on how you can temporarily disable call-waiting or voice mail while
using the fax machine.
Adjusting the machine for larger documents
If you’re using larger documents, you can adjust the document hopper and the docu-
ment tray. Just flip the top up or down, as appropriate for your documents’ sizes.
How to insert a document
1 Adjust the document guides — by sliding either of them to the left or right —
to fit the page (s) you’ll be faxing. Your fax machine’s automatic document
feeder will hold up to 50 pages.
Note: If your machine’s scanning width (see page 2.2) is set for “A4” (its only
such setting if it’s either an F-120 or F-100) and you insert a letter-
sized document, your machine scans the center 8.2
″
and sends it
unreduced (see pages 2.3–2.4 for more on reduction). This means that
there will be a 0.15
″ margin on each side of the page which your fax
machine will not scan.
2 If you’re sending a multi-page document, “fan”
the pages slightly. The bottom sheet should
extend just slightly from the others.
3 Insert the document face up. The fax machine
will “grab” the first page of the document and
position it for faxing. (If need be, readjust the
document guides for the best fit.)
The LCD will now show the current scanning
width setting (see “ A 4, B 4, A 3” in the Glossary
that begins on page 3.17) and the amount of memory available:
Speaking of memory . . .
Using memory transmission
Your fax machine has a great memory! And, because it does, it can finish fax jobs
more quickly than otherwise would be possible. By automatically scanning your
document into, then transmitting from, its memory — rather than transmitting
each part of the scan only as quickly as the receiving fax machine can receive it —
your fax machine can hand you back your original document more rapidly.
Also, here’s a real money-saver on long-distance fax calls: if you’re transmitting to
another memory-equipped Muratec fax machine, your machine will send the docu-
ment directly into the other machine’s memory and hang up! (The receiving
machine then prints out your message from its memory.) This cuts your actual on-
line time to a minimum.
Better still: set up a delayed command (see pages 2.21–2.23) to send your document
to that other Muratec fax machine after hours, and you’ll save two ways on the call:
not only will the call itself be short, but also the line charges will be cheaper!
