    Caller ID
    The Caller ID feature of this FAX/MFC lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service 
    offered by many local telephone companies. After at least two rings, the screen 
    displays the telephone number of your caller (or up to 16 characters of the name, if 
    available). Once you pick up the handset, the Caller ID information disappears from 
    the screen, but the call information remains stored in the Caller ID memory.
    ¥ CALL PICKUP display remains on the screen when no Caller ID information was 
    transmitted.
    ¥ OUT-OF-AREA display means the call originates outside your Caller ID service area.
    ¥ PRIVATE CALL display means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of 
    information.
    Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local telephone company to 
    determine the kind of service available in your area.
    Caller ID Log
    Your FAX/MFC stores up to 30 of the last Caller IDs received into the FAX/MFCÕs 
    memory in the Caller ID Log. When the thirty-first call comes in, information about 
    the first call is erased. You can print the report or scroll through Caller ID information 
    to review those calls made to your FAX/MFC.

    calls made using the CallManage feature will access a long distance carrier selected 
    by CallManage, Inc., that offers a plan with best average domestic rates based on 
    standard long distance plans of major carriers within the United States.  This may 
    result in significant savings, depending on your current long distance carrier and

    steps below to register with CallManage, Inc.  Once registered, your One-Touch key 
    4 can be used to access the CallManage feature for any calls you choose.  Calls made 
    without using the CallManage feature will be processed through your normal long 
    distance carrier. 
    If you prefer not to activate the CallManage feature you can use One Touch key 4 to 
    store a number of your own choosing.

    fees for the CallManage feature. You will receive a separate itemized bill each month
