About Reception Modes
Your machine has four reception modes:
• In FAX mode, the machine answers an incoming call and immediately
goes into receive mode.
• In AUTO mode, the machine answers an incoming call expecting to
receive a fax. If the machine does not sense a fax signal, it will
continue to sound the ringing tone to tell you it is a phone call. If you
do not lift the handset during the ringing, the machine will switch to
automatic fax reception mode.
• In ANS/FAX mode, the answering machine answers an incoming call,
and the caller can leave a message on the answering machine. If the
fax machine senses a fax tone on the line, the call automatically
switches to the fax machine.
Note: To use the ANS/FAX mode, attach an answering machine to
the EXT. jack on the back of your machine (see page A.
2
).
• In TEL mode, the automatic fax reception is turned off. You can
receive a fax by picking up the handset or pressing the OHD,
and then pressing Start/Enter on the front panel of your SF-555P
product.
• In DRPD mode, you can receive a call using the Distinctive Ring
Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature. “Distinctive Ring” is a telephone
company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to
answer several different telephone numbers. This mode is displayed
when you have set up the distinctive ring pattern. For details on this
feature, see
page 3.6 .
