Page 122: Connecting An Answering Machine
Connecting an Answering Machine If desired, you can connect an answering machine to the Sharp Color MFP’s TEL. SET socket. This will allow you to receive both voice messages and faxes when you are out. Remove the seal covering the TEL. SET socket.
Page 123: Changing The Outgoing Message
Connecting an Answering Machine Note: When FaxAbility or Fax Duet (distinctive ring) is used, the answering machine may be connected to any extension of the same line. Important: In New Zealand, not all standard telephones and answering machines will respond to incoming ringing when connected to the extension socket of the equipment.
Page 124: Activating The Answering Machine Connection
During this time, the Sharp Color MFP will quietly monitor the line. If the Sharp Color MFP detects a fax tone or a duration of silence greater than four seconds, it will take over the line and begin reception.

Special Fax Functions Distinctive Ring ........8-2 Broadcasting.
Page 126: Distinctive Ring
Distinctive Ring If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service from your telephone company, you will need to turn on the distinctive ring function. When this is done, your fax machine will signal voice calls by the normal ring pattern, and fax transmissions by a special ring pattern. In the case of a fax transmission, your fax machine will automatically answer the call and receive the fax.
Page 127 Distinctive Ring Press 1 (YES) to turn on distinctive ring, or 2 (NO) to turn it off. The display will show: FAX SIGNAL RX Press the STOP key. Set the reception mode to FAX. TEL/FAX ANS.
Page 128: Broadcasting
Broadcasting This function allows you to send the same document to as many as 20 different locations with just one operation. First store the document in memory, then enter the numbers of the receiving machines. The document will be transmitted to each location. You can only use Rapid Keys or Speed Dial numbers to dial the numbers of the receiving machines.
Page 129: Broadcasting Using A Group Key
Broadcasting Press the START key. Transmission will begin. A Transaction Report is automatically printed out after Broadcasting is completed. Check the "Note" column of the report to see if any of the locations are marked "Busy" or have a communication error code. If so, send the document to those locations again.
Page 130: Storing Numbers In Group Keys
Broadcasting Storing numbers in Group Keys Group Keys allow you to dial a group of fax numbers by simply pressing the appropriate Group Key once. To store a group of numbers in a Group Key, follow the steps below. Rapid Keys 16/G1 through 19/G4 can be used as Group Keys. Note that one key cannot be simultaneously programmed as both a Group Key and a Rapid Key.
Page 131 Broadcasting Press the START key. Return to Step 3 to program or clear another Group Key, or press STOP to Step 3 or exit.

Page 135: Batch Page Numbering
Batch Page Numbering You can change the page numbering of the transmitted document from simple numbering ("P.01", "P.02", etc.) to batch numbering, which means that a slash and the total number of pages being sent are added after each page number (for example, "P. 01/05", "P.02/05", etc.). This allows the receiver to check for missing pages.
Page 136 Batch Page Numbering Comments: If you need to cancel a batch number entry, remove the document from the feeder or press the STOP key. If the number of pages actually transmitted does not coincide with the batch number entered, the alarm will sound and PAGE COUNT ERROR will appear in the display.
Page 137: Blocking Reception Of Unwanted Faxes
Blocking Reception of Unwanted Faxes The Anti Junk Fax function allows you to block reception of faxes from parties which you specify. This saves paper by not printing out unwanted "junk" faxes. To use this function, first turn it on by setting Option Setting 13 (Junk Fax # Check) to YES as described in Chapter 9, and then enter the fax numbers from which you do not want to receive faxes as shown below.
Page 138 <P=002> Blocking Reception of Unwanted Faxes Enter the full number you want to block (max. of 20 digits). (Example) Press the START key. Return to Step 3 to enter (or clear) another number, or press STOP to Step 3 or exit.
Page 139: Sending Documents From Memory
Sending Documents From Memory With this function, the original document is scanned immediately, stored in memory, and then transmitted once the connection to the receiving machine is made. This is convenient when transmitting to places where the line is often busy, as it saves you from waiting to pick up the original document and frees the feeder for other operations.
Page 140 Sending Documents From Memory Enter the number of the receiving machine using one of the following methods: Press a Rapid Key. (Example) Press the SPEED DIAL key and enter a Speed Dial number. Enter a full telephone number by pressing the number keys. Press the START key if you entered a Speed Dial number or a full number.

Page 142: Polling (Requesting A Fax Transmission)
Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission) Polling allows you to call another fax machine and have it send a document (previously loaded in its feeder) to your machine without operator assistance. In other words, the receiving fax machine, not the transmitting fax machine, initiates the transmission. You can use your machine to both poll and be polled by others.
Page 143: Being Polled (Polling Standby)
Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission) Being polled (polling standby) To let another fax machine poll your machine, simply set the reception mode to AUTO, and load the document(s) to be sent. Transmission will take place when the other fax machine calls your machine and activates polling.
