Stand-alone Fax Machine
Like most other modem products, your Solo is equipped to
transmit and receive fax messages.
Unlike most other modems, however, your Solo can receive
fax messages even when your computer is switched off.
This means that you can benefit from 24-hour fax cover
without the need to leave your computer on overnight or
while you are out. When you return to use your computer,
stored faxes are transferred across so that you may view
and print them.
This section deals with the
Stand-alone
fax capabilities that
are achievable when your computer is switched off (or not
running the supplied FotoMac software). For more details
about the full range of fax features, please refer to page 22
within the next section.
To receive fax messages in stand-alone mode:
Press the
ANS
button.
• The ANS button will glow,
accompanied by the
announcement:
“Answering
machine record”
.
• The answer phone will answer incoming calls as usual
but will listen for the distinctive fax signals. If an
incoming fax is detected, the answer phone will change
into fax mode and store the incoming fax pages.
To make the Solo receive a fax after you
have already picked up the call:
Before putting your phone on the
hook, press the Solo
SPEAKER
PHONE
button (the answer
phone must already be on).
• The Solo will go online,
detect the fax signals and
automatically receive the
incoming fax message.
To automatically print stored fax messages:
(Once you have started your computer
and the FotoMac software)
Press the flashing Solo
FAX
button.
• All stored fax messages will be
sent directly to the printer
connected to your computer.
To transfer fax messages to your computer:
Once you have started up your computer and opened the
FotoMac software, it will automatically check the Solo for
new messages and display a message on screen if any are
found.
