Welcome  
Thank you for choosing the Canon FAX-B155 Bubble JetTM facsimile. The compact,  
upright design of the fax means it takes up less space in your work area. The bubble  
jet print mechanism uses cut-sheet plain paper, so you get crisp reproductions of  
your fax documents and copies.  
The FAX-B155 has a number of features that make it ideal for small to medium-  
sized offices with a single telephone line.  
Features  
Plain paper  
The fax accepts A4, letter, and legal size cut-sheet plain paper for crisp reproduction  
and faxes that are flat and easy to write on.  
Automatic switching between fax and voice calls  
The fax recognises incoming fax calls, and automatically switches to receive mode.  
Automatic dialling  
A variety of dialling methods allows you to register frequently used fax numbers and  
phone numbers and access them by pressing one or a few buttons.  
Error Correction Mode (ECM) TX / RX  
Automatically helps correct transmission errors due to system and telephone line  
noise.  
Delayed transmission  
Sends a fax automatically at a later time, for example, at night when telephone rates  
are lower.  
360 dpi copy mode  
Lets you make copies at 360 × 360 dpi.

Precautions  
• Place the fax on a level surface.  
• Do not remove the BJ cartridge from the unit unless it needs to  
be replaced, or when transporting the fax. Removing the  
cartridge and leaving the print head unprotected will cause it to  
dry out and become unusable.  
• Do not place the fax on the edge of a desk so as to prevent received documents from falling onto the floor.  
• Certain table surfaces may prevent received documents from sliding out smoothly, resulting in paper jams.  
Do not place the fax on these types of tables.  
• Do not install the fax near devices which contain magnets or generate magnetic fields.  
• Do not subject the fax to strong physical shock or vibration.  
• Keep the fax clean. Dust accumulation can prevent the fax from operating properly.  
• Before you transport your fax, be sure to remove the BJ cartridge and recover the print head with the  
orange tape. After moving the fax, remove the orange tape and reload the BJ cartridge.  
Others __________________________________________  
Here are some other general precautions when using or working around the fax.  
CAUTION  
• Avoid installing your fax in places exposed to direct sunlight, dust, vibration, high temperature or  
humidity, or on unstable surfaces.  
• To assure proper electrical contact, make sure the fax is firmly plugged in.  
• Never pull on the cord to unplug the fax. Pull on the plug itself.  
WARNING  
• For cardiac pacemaker users:  
This product emits low level electromagnetic waves. If you use a cardiac pacemaker and  
feel abnormalities, please move away from this product and consult your doctor.  
• Do not overload the electrical outlet where the fax is plugged in.  
• Never plug or unplug the fax when your hands are wet.  
• For your safety, unplug the fax during electrical storms.  
• If you have problems with the fax (smoke, odd smells or noises), immediately unplug the  
fax from the outlet. Keep the area around the outlet free from clutter so you can unplug  
the fax quickly in case of an emergency.  
• Never use liquids or drink beverages around the fax. Liquids spilled on the fax can cause  
a fire or electrical shock. If you accidentally spill a liquid on the fax, unplug it immedi-  
ately and call your Canon service representative.  
• To avoid electrical shock from exposed power points, never disassemble the fax. There  
are no parts or switches in the fax that require adjustment.

• Test the plain bond paper you intend to use first to make sure printing  
results are satisfactory.  
• Do not use punched or coloured paper.  
• Do not use glossy paper.  
• Ink drying time will vary depending on the type of paper.  
• Using paper other than the above may cause jamming and/or blurred  
printing.  
Setting the paper size  
The paper size setting determines the size of the recording paper in the paper tray.

Installing the BJ cartridge  
The first time you set up your fax, you have to install the BX-3 BJ FAX cartridge  
before you can begin receiving and copying documents.  
1
SETTINGUP  
BJ cartridge guidelines ________________________  
Use only the Canon BX-3 BJ FAX cartridge with the FAX-B155.  
The actual amount of ink that you use will vary depending on the print density of a  
page. If the majority of your printed output is graphics, you may need to change the  
ink cartridge more often than when you are receiving or copying text only.  
You may need to replace the BJ cartridge when either of the following conditions  
exist:  
Your printed output is not crisp and clear, and there are gaps in the characters  
(missing dots) even after you have cleaned the print head once or twice and you  
have removed and reinstalled the BJ cartridge.  
You have been using the BJ cartridge for over one year.  
• To ensure optimum print quality, Canon recommends the use of the  
cartridges designated by Canon. Canon accepts no liability or responsi-  
bility for damages caused by the use of any cartridge other than those  
designated by Canon.  
• Canon makes numerous ink cartridges; the BX-3 BJ FAX cartridge is  
the only one designed to be used with the FAX-B155.

Handling the BJ cartridge _____________________  
• Leave the BJ cartridge in its packaging until you are ready to use it to prevent it  
from drying out.  
• Store BJ cartridges out of the reach of children. The ink contains isopropyl  
alcohol 67-63-0.  
• Replace the BJ cartridge after one year of use or if the print is not clear or is  
missing, even after trying five successive head cleanings.  
• Never remove the BJ cartridge unless you are going to replace it. When left  
exposed, the cartridge print head dries out, making it unusable.  
• Do not touch the print head area on  
the BJ cartridge. Ink may leak out and  
cause stains.  
• Never shake the BJ cartridge,  
especially after removing the  
protective tape from the print head.  
If spilled, the ink is very difficult to clean. Therefore, always follow the above  
precautions and carefully handle the BJ cartridge.

Users in the UK only:  
Although this equipment can use either rotary pulse or touch tone, only the  
performance of the touch tone setting is subject to regulatory requirements  
for correct operation. It is therefore strongly recommended that the equip-  
ment is set to use touch tone for access to public or private emergency  
services. Touch tone also provides faster call set up.

Setting up to receive faxes  
Selecting the receiving mode__________________  
1
Before you set up the receiving mode on your fax, you should determine how you  
plan to use your fax:  
SETTINGUP  
Are you able to dedicate the use of one telephone line to the fax only to receive  
document transmissions from other fax machines? If yes, choose Fax Only Mode  
(see below).  
Do you want to use your fax as both a telephone and fax, receiving documents  
automatically and ringing only for telephone calls? If yes, choose Fax/Tel Mode  
(see below).  
Do you want to use your fax mainly as a telephone, and answer every call yourself,  
whether from a person or a fax unit? If yes, choose Manual Mode (see below).  
Do you want to connect an answering machine to your fax and receive the other  
party’s document and also record the other party’s message? If yes, choose Ans.  
Machine mode (see below).  
How you answer these questions will determine which receiving method you  
choose. If you are not satisfied with the mode you select, you can always change it  
at any time.  
Fax Only Mode (See p. 18)  
You may want to use this mode if you have two phone lines in your office, and plan  
to use one line for the fax and the other line for your telephone.  
Set Fax Only Mode if you want to use your fax only to receive faxes automatically  
and do not intend to use it as a telephone.  
Fax/Tel Mode (See p. 19)  
If you only have one phone line in your office, you may be planning to use it for  
both fax and telephone communication. By setting this mode, you will be able to use  
your fax for both fax and telephone communication using only one phone line. You  
will need to have the optional handset or an extension phone connected to the fax so  
that when it rings to alert you of a call, you can answer the call. The fax will  
automatically receive faxes without ringing.  
Manual Mode (See p. 20)  
Use Manual Mode if you receive more telephone calls than faxes. By having a  
telephone or the optional handset connected to your fax, you can answer every call,  
whether from a person or from another fax unit. If you hear a slow beep, simply  
press [Start/Copy] on your fax and hang up the handset to receive the fax.  
Ans. Machine Mode (See p. 21)  
Use Ans. Machine Mode if you have an answering machine connected to the fax.  
This mode allows you to receive not only documents sent from other fax machines,  
but also messages from people calling when you are out.

Setting Fax Only Mode  
When you set the fax to Fax Only Mode, the unit picks up every call and automati-  
cally treats it as a fax transmission.  
The fax cannot receive automatically if you are making copies, printing reports, or  
registering information. See p. 72.

Registering One-touch Speed  
Dialling numbers and names  
The quickest way to dial a fax number is to use One-touch Speed Dialling. This  
allows you to dial a number by pressing a single button. Before you can use One-  
touch Speed Dialling, you must register the receiving number with your fax.  
One-touch Speed Dialling assigns a fax number (up to 50 digits) to a One-touch  
Speed Dialling button (01 to 10).  
You can also register the name of the party (up to 16 characters); the name appears  
on the printout of the One-touch Speed Dialling list. See One-touch Speed Dialling

Special dialling  
This section explains how to dial through a switchboard, dial long distance numbers,  
register your number to an outside line and confirm a dial tone.  
Dialling through a switchboard (PBX)  
A PBX (private branch exchange) is an on-site telephone switchboard.  
If your fax is connected through a switchboard, dial an outside line access number  
first. Then dial the rest of the number.  
2
If you want to dial with automatic dialling, you may have to insert a pause between  
the outside line number and the telephone number when you register the number for  
One-touch or Coded Speed Dialling. To enter a pause, press [Redial/Pause].  
When you have to make calls to an outside line or an extension, you may have to  
press the [R] button. Before you can use the [R] button, you have to register it.  
See p. 40.

RINGTOUSEYOUF  
Long distance dialling  
When you register a long distance number, you may have to insert a pause within or  
after the number. For a long distance dialling, the location and length of the pause  
may differ depending on the telephone system. To enter a pause, press [Redial/Pause].  
A pause within a number is 2 seconds long*. The length of this pause can be adjusted.  
See MID PAUSE SET in TX SETTINGS, p. 87. A pause at the end of a number is  
fixed at 10 seconds.  
*4 seconds long in the UK and Hong Kong. Users in the UK and Hong Kong cannot enter  
AX  
continuous pauses.  
Confirming a dial tone**  
When you register a number, you may have to confirm the dial tone in the middle of a  
facsimile number before entering the rest of the number. This is called dial tone  
detection. When dial tone detection is required, press [D.T.]; a small dot (.) appears on  
the LCD.  
**This feature is ineffective in the UK, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and  
Malaysia.

Using alternative telephone  
networks (UK only)  
The fax has a built-in feature that allows you to send documents and make telephone  
calls with an alternative long-distance service, such as the UK Call, Global Call, and  
Day Call Services of Cable and Wireless Communications Limited. If you subscribe  
to such a service, you can save money on most long-distance and international  
communications.  
The procedures described in this chapter show you how to use your fax with these  
Services of Cable and Wireless Communications Limited. For details on using your  
fax with alternative telephone services, contact your Canon authorised representa-  
tive.

Press [Resolution] until PHOTO appears.  
To scan documents that contain photos, use the PHOTO setting. With this setting,  
areas of the document that contain photos are automatically scanned with 64 levels  
of grey, rather than just 2 levels, black and white. Photo resolution is 3.85 lines/mm.  
This results in a much better reproduction of the photograph.  
Density control  
You can adjust the scanning density by changing the DENSITY CONTROL setting in  
the USER SETTINGS (see p. 85). For light originals choose the DARKER setting. For  
dark originals choose the LIGHTER setting.

Types of documents you can scan, p. 48.  
Loading the document, p. 49.  
Adding pages to the document, p. 50.  
Setting the resolution and density, p. 51.  
Sending methods _______________________________  
Direct Sending (See p. 57)  
If your document has a large number of pages, you may sometimes get a MEMORY  
FULL error if you are using Memory Sending. To avoid this, use Direct Sending.  
To send directly, load the document, dial the fax number and press [Start/Copy].  
Manual Sending (See p. 57)  
If you would like to speak with the other party before sending a fax to them, use  
Manual Sending. When sending manually, you dial, converse normally and then  
press [Start/Copy] to begin sending.  
For manual sending, you need to have the optional handset or an extension phone  
connected.  
Memory Sending (See p. 59)  
If you do not want to wait for your document to be scanned page by page during  
sending (Direct Sending), use Memory Sending. Memory Sending scans the  
document into memory, then dials and sends the stored image, letting you take away  
the original immediately after scanning.  
Dialling methods _______________________________  
There are several methods of dialling the receiving party’s number, depending on  
how your fax is set up.  
Manual Dialling: Dial the recipient’s fax number using the numeric buttons.  
One-touch Speed Dialling: Dial a recipient’s fax number that has been assigned to  
a One-touch Speed Dialling button by simply pressing the corresponding One-touch  
Speed Dialling button (see p. 58).  
Coded Speed Dialling: Dial a recipient’s fax number that has been assigned to a  
Coded Speed Dialling code by pressing [Coded Dial] and the 2-digit code assigned  
to the number (see p. 58).

Memory Sending________________________________  
You can use Memory Sending to send your document. With Memory Sending, the  
fax quickly scans the document into memory. Then, after it dials the receiving party,  
it sends the document from memory. This means you do not have to wait for the fax  
to finish sending before you can retrieve your original document.  
You can send up to 21 A4-size pages at a time with Memory Sending (based on the  
Canon FAX Standard Chart No.1- standard resolution).  
If the memory becomes full while scanning your document, MEMORY FULL is  
displayed on the LCD. If this should happen, you may need to open the operation  
panel to remove the document. See Clearing document jams, p. 62. Then try  
dividing the document into several sections and sending each section individually,  
or send using Direct Sending or Manual Sending. See p. 57.  
The definition of an A4-size page for memory storage purposes is based on the  
Canon FAX Standard Chart No.1.

Telstra FaxStream™ Duet  
(Australia only)  
Telstra offers the FaxStream™ Duet capability. If you subscribe to this service, your  
line is assigned two numbers: one for fax and one for phone. When the fax number  
is called, the network sends a specific ringing tone which your unit recognises and  
automatically handles as a fax call. If the phone number is called, a different ringing  
tone is sent out from the network so that the call is handled as a voice call. This  
means that there is no switching delay at the caller’s end.

document. If you do not pick up the handset, the fax continues to ring until the other  
party hangs up. If an answering machine is connected, it takes over the call.  
When you hear the fax call ring pattern:  
After the fax rings, it receives the document automatically.  
If you want to receive a document without ring:  
First, make sure the fax is in Fax/Tel mode (“Fax/Tel” displayed on the LCD). Then  
set INCOMING RING in the RX SETTINGS to OFF. See p. 87.  
When someone sends a document, the fax receives it automatically without ringing.

Polling to receive faxes  
The polling feature of the fax allows you to request a document to be faxed to you  
from another fax machine. The other party only needs to make sure the document is  
on a fax machine and ready to be sent: when your fax polls the other fax machine,  
the document is sent automatically. The fax can poll any fax machine that supports  
polling. (This process does not work in reverse, however: your fax cannot be polled  
by other fax machines.)  
Polling a fax machine__________________________  
• Before attempting to poll a fax machine, make sure that fax machine  
supports polling.  
Your fax cannot be polled by another fax machine.

AXES  
If the other party is using a Canon fax machine which has the Polling  
ID function, ask them to set the Polling ID of their fax machine to 255  
(11111111 binary number).  
For details on the Polling ID, refer to the other party’s fax machine  
manual. In all other cases the Polling ID is not a concern.

Activity reports  
Your fax keeps track of most of its sending and receiving operations. These  
operations can be printed out in the form of activity reports that can help you  
confirm the dates and times of facsimile transmissions and whether or not each  
transaction was successful.  
How to print a report ___________________________  
Depending on the type of report, you can have the fax print the report automatically,  
or you can print it directly. See REPORT SETTINGS (p. 86) on how and when  
reports are printed automatically. The fax prints the Sending report, Receiving  
report, Multi activity report, and Memory clear report automatically only.

Cleaning the BJ cartridge print head ___________  
To maintain the best possible print quality, the BJ cartridge print head needs to be  
cleaned from time to time. If you notice some degradation in the print quality, try  
cleaning the print head.  
Cleaning the print head consumes a small amount of ink. Cleaning too often  
significantly reduces the amount of ink in the cartridge.

Always fan a stack of paper along the edge that will feed into the fax first.  
Make sure the paper tray does not contain too much paper. Remove a few sheets of paper from the  
paper tray.  
If different paper types are loaded in the paper tray, load just one paper type. See Loading the  
paper, p. 7.  
Paper is loaded skewed (Printing is skewed).  
Make sure the paper is loaded properly in the paper tray: the right side of the paper is aligned  
against the right side of the paper tray and the paper guide rests against the left side of the paper  
stack. See Loading the paper, p. 7.

GENERAL  
Sending and receiving documents too slow?  
When sending, is the document mode set to  
FINE or PHOTO?  
Before sending documents, press [Resolution]  
until STANDARD appears on the display.  
Sending will be faster, but the image will not be  
as clear, and photos will be reproduced in black  
and white only.  
Is your fax set for ECM sending or receiving?  
Because the fax is constantly checking for errors  
during transmission, ECM sending and receiving  
require more time. If the transmission speed  
appears to be extremely slow, you may be able  
to speed it up by turning ECM off. See p. 87.  
Cannot get faxes from information services?  
Is your fax connected to a rotary dial telephone Press [Tone] to receive faxes from information

Is the power plug firmly plugged in?  
Check the plug and be sure it is firmly plugged  
into the socket.  
Cannot solve the problem?  
Disconnect the power. Wait five seconds and  
reconnect the power again.  
Check the other party’s fax and be sure that it is  
compatible with your fax. There are some  
compatibility problems between certain types of  
faxes.  
Still cannot solve the problem?

Print quality problems  
If the printout is unsatisfactory, consider the following suggestions:  
Most paper has a right side and a wrong side. If the print quality is poor,  
try turning the paper over and printing on the other side.  
If characters and images are blurred, check that you are using the correct  
kind of paper. See p. 7.  
If ink gets on the printer’s platen, the reverse side of the printed page will  
have smudges. In this case, clean the platen area with a soft dry cloth. See  
p. 103.  
If white streaks or missing dots appear on printed pages, perform the print  
head cleaning operation. See p. 104.  
If the quality is not crisp and clear after cleaning the print head, repeat the  
head cleaning procedure again. If output is still not satisfactory after  
cleaning the print head five consecutive times, replace the BJ cartridge.  
See p. 105.  
If the following print quality problems occur in the entire printing area,  
check for the most probable cause and remedy as listed below.

In case of a power failure  
The user data settings and registered data for One-touch Speed Dialling and Coded  
Speed Dialling are saved during a power failure using a built-in battery. However,  
documents stored in the fax memory will be deleted. If a power failure occurs or the  
power is turned off, the fax will automatically print a Memory Clear Report as soon  
as the power is turned on or the power is restored. This report informs you of the  
deleted memory files.  
During a power failure__________________________  
The following restrictions apply to the function of the fax during a power failure or  
while the power is turned off:  
A call can be received with the fax during a power failure. However, a call cannot  
be made since the numeric buttons, One-touch Speed Dialling and Coded Speed  
Dialling features are not operational.  
A document can neither be sent nor received during a power failure.

Journal of transactions, both sent and received.  
ADF  
Automatic Document Feeder. The document tray on  
the fax holds 20 sheets of paper.  
CNG  
Calling Tone. This is a signal sent by fax machines  
to identify the call as an incoming document. When  
the receiving fax detects this signal, it automatically  
starts to receive the fax transmission. The majority  
of fax machines in use today can send and detect  
CNG signals.

a fax or telephone number by pressing three buttons-  
[Coded Dial] and a two-digit code using the numeric  
buttons. You can register up to 20 Coded Speed Di-  
alling numbers in the fax.  
Dialling fax or telephone numbers by pressing one  
or three buttons. To use automatic dialling, you must  
register the numbers in the fax’s memory. See also  
One-touch Speed Dialling and Coded Speed Dial-  
ling.  
Cursor  
The underline symbol you see on the LCD when you  
register numbers and names in the fax. Press the ar-  
row buttons to move the cursor.

bps  
The ability to send a document at a preset time in  
the future. You do not have to be in your office to  
use Delayed Sending to one or more locations. (You  
can set up only one delayed transmission at a time  
on the fax.)  
Bits per second. Refers to the speed with which a  
fax machine sends and receives data.  
Bubble Jet printing  
An ink-jet type printing method that heats the ink to  
the boiling point to form a bubble. When the bubble  
expands, there is no room left in the nozzle for the  
ink and the ink is projected onto the paper.  
Density control  
A setting that darkens or lightens the scanning of  
documents.  
Dialling methods  
Ways of pressing one or more buttons to access a  
number to connect to an outside party or fax ma-

Document  
G
The sheet of paper containing the data that you send  
to or receive from a fax.  
G3, Group 3 fax machine  
dpi  
Defined by CCITT. Uses encoding schemes to trans-  
mit image data while reducing the amount of data  
that needs to be transmitted, thus reducing transmis-  
sion 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).  
Dots per inch. A unit of measurement for indicating  
a printer’s resolution.  
E
ECM  
Error Correction Mode. The ability of your fax to  
reduce system and line errors when sending or re-  
ceiving from another fax with ECM capability. ECM  
is most effective in areas where the telephone lines  
are in poor condition or there is frequent interfer-  
ence on the line. Do not use ECM if you need to  
send a document quickly and you are sure the other  
party can read your transmission without it (turning  
off ECM also turns off MMR).  
H
Hook  
The button that engages and disengages the telephone  
line.  
I
Extension  
Ink cartridge  
A telephone connected to the fax.  
The special type of ink cartridge used with Canon  
Bubble Jet fax machines. The ink cartridge for the  
fax includes the print head and ink. Use the BX-3  
cartridge only.  
F
Fax Only Mode  
This option allows you to use your fax only to re-  
ceive faxes automatically. If you have a dedicated  
fax line, you may want to set this mode.  
J
Jack

fax used to connect the fax to the telephone line,  
answering machine and extension phone.  
Fax/Tel Mode  
This option allows you to set the fax to automati-  
cally detect whether a call is from a fax or telephone.  
If the call is from another fax, the transmission is  
automatically received. If the call is from a telephone,  
the fax rings to let you know, so you can pick up the  
handset. With this feature, one telephone line can be  
shared by both the telephone and the fax.  
M
Manual Dialling  
Pressing the individual numeric buttons to dial a fax  
number. Also called regular dialling.  
FINE  
The setting for documents with very small charac-

phone and fax calls. If you hear a slow beep it indi-  
cates an incoming fax transmission from another  
machine. Just press [Start/Copy] to receive the in-  
coming fax.

Glossary  
Manual redialling  
R
When you use Regular dialling, you can redial a num-  
ber manually simply by pressing [Redial/Pause] on  
the operation panel. The last number called is the  
number redialled.  
Redialling-automatic  
When the fax you dial does not answer or a sending  
error occurs, the fax waits for a specified interval  
and then redials the same fax number. You can ad-  
just the number of redials and the length of time be-  
tween redialling.  
Memory Sending  
Scans a document into memory before the fax dials  
the numbers and sends it. This method is faster than  
Direct Sending and it allows you to retrieve your  
original document immediately after scanning.  
Redialling-manual  
When you use the regular dialling method, you can  
quickly call the last number dialled by pressing  
[Redial/Pause].  
N
Noise  
Reduction mode  
The fax’s automatic feature that slightly reduces the  
received image to allow room at the top of the page  
for the sender’s ID information. You can also reduce  
the size of large incoming documents using the RX  
REDUCTION option.  
A term applied to a variety of problems that impair  
the operation of telephone lines used for faxing.  
Numeric buttons  
The round numbered buttons on the operation panel  
marked the same as a standard telephone keypad. Press  
them to perform Manual Dialling. You also use the  
numeric buttons to enter numbers and letters when  
you register numbers and names, and for entering  
Coded Speed Dialling codes with two or more digits.  
Resolution  
The density of dots for any given output device. Ex-  
pressed in terms of dots per inch (dpi). Low resolu-  
tion causes font characters and graphics to have a  
jagged appearance. Higher resolution means  
smoother curves and angles as well as a better match  
to traditional typeface designs. Resolution values are  
represented by horizontal data and vertical data.  
O
One-touch Speed Dialling buttons  
The buttons numbered 01 to 10 on the right of the  
operation panel, each of which may be registered as  
a fax or telephone number. Once a number is regis-  
tered, you press one button to dial the entire num-  
ber.  
Rotary pulse  
A telephone dialling system where a dial is rotated  
to send pulses to the telephone switching system.  
When you pulse dial, you hear clicks. When you  
touch-tone dial, the most common dialling system,  
you hear tones. Rotary pulse dialling requires cer-  
tain setting adjustments.  
P
S
Pause  
A timing entry required for registering certain long  
distance numbers and for dialling out through some  
telephone systems or switchboards.  
Sender ID  
The identifying information from the sender at the  
top of a document including: date and time, the  
sender’s fax/telephone number, sender’s name,  
receiver’s name or company name, and page num-  
ber. Also called TTI or Transmit Terminal ID.  
PBX

LCD displays the date and time.  
Switchboard  
Also called a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) inter-  
nal switching system. A telephone system, usually  
for a large company office with many extensions,  
whereby you must dial an outside line number along  
with the regular telephone or fax number. Dialling  
out through a switchboard sometimes requires use  
of the [Redial/Pause] button.  
T
Timed Sending  
Setting the fax to transmit documents at a preset time  
in the future. See also Delayed Sending.  
Tone/pulse setting  
The ability to set the fax to match the telephone di-  
alling system your telephone line uses: touch-tone  
or rotary pulse.  
Tone  
A button that allows you to temporarily switch to  
touch-tone from pulse dialling. In some countries,  
on-line data services may require that you use tone  
dialling.  
TTI  
Transmit Terminal ID. See Sender ID.  
U
