Power Failures and Memory

If power to your fax machine is interrupted, the problems
listed below will occur.

You can prevent these problems by installing an
optional memory expansion board with a battery back-
up system that protects stored information for at least
one hour.

• Any messages your fax machine has scanned into its

memory but not yet transmitted will be lost. This includes
messages stored for bulletin polling.

• Any messages your fax machine has received into its

memory but not yet printed will be lost.

• If you have loaded documents on your fax machine’s

document feeder, any dialing or transmission settings will
be lost.

• Redial information is lost.

When power is restored, your fax machine prints a power
outage report to inform you of the power failure. Use this
report to determine which received messages you may have

lost, and to determine which transmissions you may have to
resend. Refer to the “Reports” section of this handbook for
more information.

Using Voice Request

The voice request feature allows you to have a conversation
with a person at a remote fax machine after a fax
communication is finished. Either the person sending or
receiving the fax can initiate a voice request.

If you are sending a fax, you can answer a voice request only
after all pages have been transmitted. If you are receiving a
fax, you can answer a voice request after reception of each
page.

You will know if the person on the other fax machine has
issued a voice request when you hear a warbling tone. If you
do not respond in approximately six seconds, the voice
request is automatically cancelled.
