You can also modify the number using the Clear button and the numeric keypad. If the last number dialed was a SPEED DIAL number, then pressing the Redial button displays the number for that speed dial. This may be more convenient than printing out the speed dial list or going into the Compaq A900 Settings Utility to verify a speed dial number. Automatic Redial When you send a fax, if the number you have dialed is busy or there is no answer, the A900 hangs up, waits for a specified interval, and redials the number. When this occurs, the LCD panel shows the retry count and the number of minutes left before the next retry. If after a specified number of retry attempts (retry count) the All-In-One fails to connect, the machine returns to the Ready state. Set the retry interval and count from the Compaq A900 Settings Utility. On Hook Dialing (OHD) This feature provides the ability to dial a number, respond to an automated answering system and then receive or send a fax. Because the All-In-One does not have a microphone, you can only listen. For OHD, complete the following procedure: 1. ý When the LCD panel displays Ready, place documents face down on the document input tray. 2. ý Press Start/Dial button to simulate lifting the handset. 3. ý Dial the number just as you would on a standard telephone. 43 Receiving a Fax The All-In-One has four receiving modes xý In FAX mode, the All-In-One answers an incoming call and immediately goes into receive mode. xý In ANS/FAX mode, the answering machine answers the incoming call and the caller can leave a message on the answering machine. If the All-In-One senses a fax tone on the line, the call automatically switches over to the All-InOne. To use the ANS/FAX, you have to attach an answering machine to the EXT socket on the All-In-One. You also need to set the machine to answer after one ring. xý In TEL mode, automatic fax reception is turned OFF. You can receive a fax by picking up the handset and pressing *9* (star-nine-star) or press the Start button twice on the control panel. xý In DRPD (Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection) mode, the All-In-One will answer a call on the line that has a specific ring pattern. It then immediately goes into receive mode, waiting for the fax to be sent. Use the DRPD setup to teach the All-In-One the ring pattern it should respond to. DRPD service must be obtained from your local telephone company. The current receive mode is displayed in the top right corner of the LCD panel when the A900 is in Ready mode. You can change the RECEIVE MODE either on the computer using the A900 Settings Utility or from the SETUP, FAX RECEIVE MODE menu on the A900 control panel. See the Compaq A900 Settings section. While you are printing from the computer to the All-In-One, an incoming fax will be received into memory.
