With The Stick at the receiving end, the call is “answered” and the FAX
Tone is detected. At that time the call is routed to the port labeled
“FAX”. Hence, we suggest if you use either a FAX machine or PC FAX
Card connect it to the port labeled “FAX”.
From The ".......And Here’s Another Curve Ball” File.
Sometimes
people pick up the handset on their FAX machine and dial
the phone number of the fax machine they want to connect with. By
doing this they have told their FAX machine they want to use it for voice
purposes only. No problem for the FAX machine.....but now it will
not
transmit any AUTO-FAX tones after dialing a phone number. If The
Stick is at the receiving end, it will answer the call and detect the absence
of FAX tones, assume it is a voice call and route it to the VOICE 1

ports.
When you answer the phone, the person at the other end will say, “I am
trying to send you a FAX!” Of course you can manually transfer the call
to your FAX by pressing
*2
(or another code if reprogrammed). But
before you do, we suggest you share the nugget of brilliant information
found in the preceding paragraph with your misguided (no pun intended)
caller and suggest
the next
time they fax you,
try call
ing
without lifting
the FAX machine
handset.
It will make every
thing a
whole lot easier at
both ends of the conversation.

million different types of PC FAX
Cards on the market today and
each has its own operational
idiosyncrasies. If you do experience
a problem, check the operations
manual included with the PC FAX
Card. If you can’t figure the
