Hi group,
I hope someone here can answer a quick question for me. And if this is the
wrong group, I apologize and ask that you point me in the right direction.

I have the above-mentioned printer/scanner/copier/fax machine. I purchased
it used on ebay. It came without the manual, but I've been able to
successfully figure out how the thing works, except for one little thing. I
can't figure out how to manually accept incoming faxes. I don't have the
unit plugged into my computer, because I use it mainly for copying and
faxing and I don't need it hooked up to the printer to perform these
functions.

If anyone has this machine and knows how to receive incoming faxes, either
automatically or manually, I would be extremely grateful.

Thank you in advance.

Direct from manual:

Receiving Documents Manually-Manual Mode (section 5-3)

You will want to set your MultiPass C5000 to receive documents manually
when you want to personally check each incoming call to see if it is from a
fax or from a person. You must have a telephone attached to the C5000.

When MP C5000 rings, pick up the phone.

1) If you hear a person's voice, start your conversation. If the caller
wants to send you a document after talking to you, wait on the line until
you hear a slow beep or silence(depending on the sending fax unit), then
press START/COPY to receive the document.

2) If you hear a slow beep or silence, another fax is trying to send you a
document. Press START/COPY.

3) Hang up the telephone after MP C5000 displays RECEIVE. If you don't hang
up, the C5000 beeps intermittently for a few seconds after you receive the
document. To disable the beeping, turn off the Off Hook Alarm option in the
Advanced: Send Fax dialog box.

All of the above assumes that you have set the C5000 for Fax/Tel mode(where
the phone line is used for both voice and fax messages, rather than the Fax
Only mode(where the phone line is dedicated for fax only).

HTH,

Ron

Why, for the answer to your question. But maybe you didn't want any help.

If you offered anything other than a sarcastic "you're welcome", I didn't
see it.

But thanks anyway...

Yeah, here it is dated five days ago. Don't know why you didn't see it.

That should have been your first clue that something was sent. If you can
read this, you should have seen the original reply. You could have simply
asked if I had sent anything and at least acknowledged the possibility that
your READ settings were to blame even if your settings were ok. Then you
could have simply asked me kindly to repost. But heck, who uses civility
anymore. Instead, you chose the clueless "Ummm...ok, but what for?" reply.
Typical of today's societal attitudes. Then you wonder why more people don't
help. Figure the rest out for yourself.
