The Canon MP390

Hey All, This post is directed to all of you who call us via, you know, phone. The rest of you can ignore this post. We just got a great new print/scan/copy/FAX machine. We needed a FAX machine because we can only handle our 'overseas' banking via FAX. Once a month I had to run over to Office Depot or 'Stinky FAX Place' and pay what amounts to about $10 to send a FAX to the US. Sometimes this was a two or three times a month occurance. In time this new machine will more than pay for itself. Anyway, the new FAX is hooked to our phone and is SUPPOSED to automatically handle calls and FAX's. The deal is this, if you call our home number you will hear it ring twice (we won't), then you'll have a semi-short, semi-annoying FAX beep in your ear, then once the machine verifies that you are not indeed a FAX it will ring through to us. So PLEASE, when you hear the FAX beep DO NOT HANG UP! Hang in there and, if we are home, we will answer within a few rings after the beep. I ask offspring, siblings and parental units to please tell each other about this so we insure that everyone knows what's going on as some of you do not read this on a regular basis (shame on you!) If I read further into the stinkin' 190 page manual and find a fix for it I will certainly implement it, so far however, no better solution presents itself. If you find this too anoying, call our cell phone numbers. Love you! And thanks for your understanding with this phone issue.
