Page 236: Different Ways To Receive A Fax
This chapter describes the different methods for receiving faxes. You will also find instructions on setting the MultiPASS to receive color faxes. Different Ways to Receive a Fax....................® Receiving Both Faxes and Telephone Calls Automatically: Fax/Tel Mode ......6-4 ®...
Page 237 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 Set this mode if you want your MuItiPASS 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--...

Page 241 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. •...
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 MuItiPASS 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 MuItiPASS rings in the pattern you registered for telephone calls.

If you are printing a thin line with a nonprimary color, your software may be telling the unit to place a color every other dot, with white in between.
Page 323 Some colors are impossible to match exactly, though the MultiPASS is designed to come as close as possible. Colors are missing. The BJ cartridge print head may need cleaning. Clean the BJcartridge print head (see page 7-20). Colors in a line are uneven or different from previous lines.
Page 324 Blue looks like purple. Blue prints out as purple because of the difference in color technology used by the screen and the MultiPASS; the screen uses RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color and the MultiPASS uses CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) color. Due to the technology differences, when cyan and magenta are mixed together,...
