Caller-ID
Caller-
ID
is your local telephone company’s service that allows you to see a display
of the caller’s phone (or fax) number or name before either your fax machine auto-
matically receives the call or you pick up the optional handset.
If you order caller-
ID
service from your local telephone company, the following infor-
mation will show on the
LCD
while your machine is ringing:
• The first 16 characters of the caller’s phone number or name on the
LCD
—
If both the caller’s phone number and name are received, only the name will
appear on the
LCD
.
. . . or . . .
• “Private,” meaning that the caller intentionally blocked the transmission of
his/her
ID
.
. . . or . . .
• “Out of area,” meaning that the call came from outside your caller-
ID
service
area.
Note: Your fax machine cannot receive the caller-
ID
in the following cases:
• While either the fax machine is communicating or you are making a tele-
phone call.
• The number of rings (see page 2.5) is set to one ring.
Please set the number of rings to two or more rings to receive the caller-
ID
.
• The line condition is poor.
Note: For more information about caller-
ID
service, please contact your local tele-
phone company.
Caller -

In its memory, your fax machine keeps the 10 most recent incoming caller-
ID

When the 11th call is received, the oldest caller-
ID
will be erased automatically.
Note: To use the caller-
ID
directory, at least one caller-
ID
must be received.

If you want to use caller-
ID
directory to make a regular phone call, make sure
there is no document in the feeder and then skip to step 4.
If you want to use caller-
ID
directory to send a fax, insert the document.
