Page 237: Different Ways To Receive A Fax
Different Ways to Receive a Fax The MultiPASS provides you with several modes for receiving faxes. You set the Receive Mode during the MultiPASS installation procedure. (See your Quick Start Guide for details.) If you want to change the Receive Mode, decide which mode will best suit your requirements by considering how you want to use the MultiPASS.
Page 238 FAX ONLY MODE Use this mode if the MultiPASS will be connected to a separate telephone line used only for faxing. The MultiPASS then answers all calls, and receives all faxes automatically. ANS.MACHINE MODE Use this mode if you plan to connect an answering machine to the MultiPASS to receive faxes and phone messages.
Page 239: Receiving Both Faxes And Telephone Calls Automatically: Fax/Tel Mode
Receiving Both Faxes and Telephone Calls Automatically: Fax/Tel Mode Set this mode if you want your MultiPASS to automatically switch between voice and fax calls. For this mode, you need to have a telephone connected to your unit. What Happens When Fax/Tel Mode is Selected Type of call Telephone charges begin for the caller.
Page 240: Receiving Faxes Manually: Manual Mode
You can select these options using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager or the operation panel. If you are using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager, see the online MultiPASS Desktop Manager Software Guide. If you are using the operation panel, see the online Stand-alone Fax Manual. Receiving Faxes Manually: MANUAL MODE In MANUAL MODE, if you connect a telephone to your unit, you can use the telephone to receive normal telephone calls and also to activate your MultiPASS to start receiving a document.
Page 241: Receiving Using The Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection Feature: Drpd
Using the MultiPASS With an Answering Machine Follow these guidelines when using the MultiPASS with an answering machine. Set the answering machine to answer on the first or second ring. When recording the outgoing message on the answering machine: The entire message must be no more than 15 seconds long. In the message, tell your callers how to send a fax.
Page 242 Use the information in this section to set up the MultiPASS for use with a DRP service. For more details on the DRP service, contact your local telephone company. (Your telephone company may have a different name for this service. Also, this service may not be offered in all areas.) Types of Ring Patterns Your telephone company will assign a distinctive ring pattern to each number when you order the DRP service.
Page 243 How DRPD Responds to Calls When there is an incoming call, the MultiPASS checks the incoming ring pattern and determines the type of pattern being received. The MultiPASS may require up to 10 seconds to determine the pattern type. During this time, any telephone device connected to the MultiPASS reacts according to how you registered the setting.
Page 244 Communicating Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) Feature Using the MultiPASS with a DRP service is almost the same as using it with a normal telephone line. When you turn on DRPD, the receive mode defaults to DRPD. When someone calls using the number assigned for telephone communication, the MultiPASS rings in the pattern you registered for telephone calls.
Page 245: Receiving In Color
Receiving in Color Your MultiPASS has been factory-set to receive faxes in color from fax machines with color capability. When receiving a fax, your MultiPASS detects if the incoming fax is a color or black & white transaction, and prints the fax accordingly. For automatic printing of received color faxes, you need to have the BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge installed in your unit.
Page 246: Receiving While Registering, Copying, Or Printing
Receiving While Registering, Copying, or Printing As the MultiPASS is a multitasking device, it can receive faxes and phone calls while you are entering your user information, making copies, or printing. If you receive a fax while you are making copies or printing, the MultiPASS stores the incoming fax in memory.
Page 247: Receiving Faxes In Memory When A Problem Occurs
Receiving Faxes in Memory When a Problem Occurs If the MultiPASS encounters a problem when it is receiving a fax, the unit will automatically store the unprinted pages of the fax in memory, and the LCD display will show REC’D IN MEMORY as well as one or several of the following messages: Unit has run out of paper The MultiPASS has run out of paper while printing.

You can customize your MultiPASS by programming settings other than the factory default settings. FAX/TEL switching The ability of the MultiPASS to automatically detect whether a call is from a fax machine or telephone.
Page 371 G3, Group 3 fax machine Defined by CCITT/ITU-T. Uses encoding schemes to transmit image data while reducing the amount of data that needs to be transmitted, thus reducing transmission time. G3 fax machines can transmit one page in less than one minute. Encoding schemes for G3 fax machines are Modified Huffman (MH), Modified READ (MR), and Modified Modified READ (MMR).
Page 372 Halftone Using this method, the MultiPASS produces shades of gray or of colors by mapping dots to be printed. For color printing, different colored dots of ink are placed closely together to create illusions of other colors. IEEE 1284 IEEE 1284 is the new specification standard for computer-to-peripheral bi-directional parallel interface communications.
Page 373 Ink tank The special type of ink container housed by the BJ cartridge. The BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge contains two ink tanks: one color — BCI-21 Color (which includes cyan, magenta, yellow) and one black — BCI-21 Black. Intensity The amount of color. More intense or more saturated colors are more pure. Less intense or less saturated colors are less vivid.

Page 378 Print head The printing mechanism that contains print nozzles and ejects the ink for printing. Print head capping An automatic protection function that prevents the print head unit and ink cartridges from drying out or becoming clogged with dust. Printable area The area of a sheet of paper on which a printer can reproduce text or graphics (the printing area is smaller than the paper).
Page 379 Quick-on-line sending Quick-on-line sending is the easiest and quickest way to send a document. After a document is set in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), the MultiPASS begins to scan the entire document into the memory. As the first page of a multiple page document is being scanned, your MultiPASS will begin to call the other party, and transmit the information even as the remaining pages are being scanned.
