ABSTRACT:
A facsimile machine includes a help feature for providing the user with a hard copy of "help" information, outputted via the facsimile printer, relevant to the existing operating mode of facsimile machine at the time the help feature was activated. If the help feature is activated when the facsimile machine is in a standby mode, the user is prompted to request a menu or to select the type of help information to be outputted in facsimile form. If the help feature is activated when the facsimile machine is in an active operating mode, (e.g., programming, service or error modes), the outputted help information is selected by the facsimile machine based on machine sensor status and/or the present software state. The help feature is activated by a predesignated push button or access code.
