User-Friendly Programming

See

We have designed your fax machine with on-screen programming and a Help key.

Using This

User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all the functions

Manual

your fax machine has to offer.

p. 1

Since your fax programming is done on the LCD, we created step-by-step

on-screen prompts to help you program your fax machine. All you need to do is

follow the prompts as they guide you through the function menu selections and

programming options and settings.

Function Mode

You can access the function mode by pressing

Function

. When you enter the

function mode, your fax machine displays a list of main menu options from

which you can choose. These menu options appear one after the other on the

display. Select a menu option by pressing

Set

when the option appears on the

LCD. The display will scroll the options within that menu.

You can “scroll” more quickly through options by pressing

. When the screen

displays your selection, press

Set

. (Use to scroll backward if you passed your

choice or to save key strokes. Both arrow keys show all options, in the opposite

order.)

If you want to exit the Function Mode, press

Stop

.

Alternating Displays

When you see alternating displays, the LCD sometimes alternates between the

currently selected option, and a help message giving brief instructions about how

to proceed. The display you'll probably see most often is shown below, showing

you, when you place a document in the feeder, that you can dial a number and

send a fax, or you can make a copy.

FAX: NO. & START

COPY: PRESS COPY
