IBM Simon User Manual

ever want to
return
the Fax
feature
to its factory
settings,
just
touch
the
Use Defaults
button.
To
put
information
into
or
change the
setting
of
a button,
touch that
button
and
follow
the
on-screen
directions.
The first
two
settings
buttons
are
for
your
name
and
fax number.
The
third
button
is
for the
fax
quality,
with
a
factory
setting
of
Standard.
This
setting is
for
your
information
-
you
cannot
change
it. lf
someone sends
you
a fine-quality
fax,
Simon
will
receive it
as
standard.
All
faxes
that
Simon
sends
are
standard
quality.
(Standard-quality
faxes look
good,
and use
only
half the
system
memory that
fine-quality
faxes
would
require.)
The
fourth
button
is for
fax
speed,
which
has
a
factory
setting
of 4800
bps.
lf
you
select
a higher
number
your
faxes
may
go
faster,
but it
may take
more
time to
make
the
connection
to the
sending
or
receiving
fax
machine.
As
your
Simon
tries to
connect to
a fax
machine,
it
tries
the
selected
fax
speed first,
then
tries
lower
speeds
until it
connects.
This means
that
selecting
higher
fax
speeds
may
slow down
your
fax.
Normally, you
get your
best
performance
by
using the
factory
setting.
Busy Retries
sets
up the
number
of times
that
Simon
will try
to
call
a busy
fax machine.
The
factory
setting
is
three
times,
but
you
can
change it
to
one or five
times.
Retry
Delay
is
the
amount of
time Simon
will
wait
to try
to
call the
busy fax
machine
between
tries.
The
factory
setting
is one
minute,
but
you
can
change
it to
five
or 10
minutes.
lf
you
want
to
send
a cover
page
with
the
laxes
you
send, touch
the
Cover
Page
box to
put
a check in
it.
After
you
have
completed
the
settings,
touch the
OK
key.
See
"Setting
Up Fax"
on
page
47.
Receiving
Faxes
First,
make
sure
your
memory
selection
(System
or
Card)
is
correct.
lf
possible,
receive
faxes
to an
optional
memory
card.
Othenvise,
you
can receive
them
to
Simon if
you
have
enough
memory.

you
touch
the
Receive
Fax
button
on the
main

a
Receiving
Fax
status
window
44
User's
Guide
appears.
Keep
in mind
that
touching
the
Receive
Fax
button
turns
Simon
into
a
small
wireless
fax
machine.
While
you
wait
for
a fax,
you
can't
do
anything
else with
Simon
except
cancel
by touching
the
Back
Arrow.
(The
Back
Arrow
might
not
work
for
the
first
few
seconds.
lf
this
happens,
just
try
again.)
While
you
receive
the fax,
look
at the
status
window
occasionally.
The
messages
in the
status
window
will
keep
you
informed
about
whether
you
are
receiving
or have
received
the
fax.
Note:
lf
the
Phone
rings
while
you're
working
with
Simon,
touch
the
phone
icon
to answer.
lf
it's
a fax
call,
you'll
hear
nothing.
Touch
the
Mobile
Office
icon,
the
Fax
icon,
then
Receive
Fax.
You
have
about
30
seconds
to
do
this
before
the
calling
fax
machine
hangs
up.

with
a

and
