of rings (see page 2.4) and attempts fax reception.
To select Tel Ready:
1. Press COPY / FAX to change to the Fax mode, if the machine isn’t the Fax mode.

Fax/Tel Ready mode
Use it if: You’re using the machine as not only your fax machine but also a
telephone.
In this mode: Your fax machine answers each incoming call and, if you receive a
voice call, alerts you with a special ring.
As its name implies, the Fax/Tel Ready reception mode is sort of a hybrid of the Fax
Ready and Tel Ready modes.
To select Fax/Tel Ready:
1. Press COPY / FAX to change to the Fax mode, if the machine isn’t the fax mode.
2. Press PROGRAM , I , and then ENTER five times. The LCD will show your

Silent fax operation in Fax/Tel Ready mode
Use silent Fax/Tel Ready operation if you want your fax machine to:
• Receive faxes silently (i.e., without beeping at the end of each reception)
. . . but also . . .
•
Alert you when a regular voice call comes in.
If a voice call comes in, your machine detects it and sounds a special ring for about
30 seconds. If you hear it, you’ll know you should answer.
To make your fax operate this way:
1. Set your fax machine for Fax/Tel Ready, as previously described.
2. Activate silent mode on your machine (see page 2.5).
Note: Of course, turning on the silent mode on your fax machine won’t turn off
ringers on other telephones in your house or office. Similarly, other phones
won’t distinguish between fax and voice calls.
