Audible alarm
Whenever your fax machine receives a document from another fax machine, your
machine will sound the alarm tone alerting the person for whom the document is
intended.
Important: The alarm tone is sounding until either the person presses STOP or
another document is received.
Note: Your machine does not sound the alarm during:
• Polling
• Call request
• F-Code polling reception
• Turning off this feature
To toggle this audible alarm feature on or off:
1 Press MENU , J , 2, 2, [Enter].
2 If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to
step 4. Otherwise, proceed to step 3.
3 Select desired setting by using the cursor key.
4 Press [Enter] to save the setting.
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 AI .1 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

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.
