AppleFax Modem: How It Handles Busy Signals During Transmission


TOPIC ---------------------------------------------

When several "envelopes" are "stuffed" and prepared for later transmission, and
the AppleFax Modem dials the addressed number on the envelope and encounters a
busy signal:

- Will the AppleFax continue to dial until it gets through?

- Will it cycle through all of the envelopes and come back to the ones it
could not send on the first pass?

- Will they not be sent until the send time tomorrow?

DISCUSSION ---------------------------------------------

If the AppleFax modem is unable to connect with another Fax machine, the
envelope is not sent, and an error occurs requiring you to Restore the envelope
before it can be sent again. The AppleFax will, however, continue to transmit
all other envelopes to other accessible faxes.

Once the AppleFax has attempted to send an envelope, the envelope's icon is
dimmed, and you are unable to open or change the envelope. When checking the
activity report after sending an envelope, if you discover that errors occurred
and that you need to resend the envelope, you must first restore the envelope
to its original condition:

1. Select the dimmed envelopes that you want to restore.

2. Choose Restore Selected Envelopes from the AppleFax menu.

The envelopes are no longer dimmed and can be opened, changed, and re-sent
as necessary.
