Receiving modes
Your machine has four receiving modes:
• In FAX mode, the machine answers an incoming call and immediately
goes into receive mode, waiting for a fax to be sent.
• 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 receiving 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 over to the fax machine. To use the ANS/FAX mode, you
have to attach an answering machine to the extension telephone jack
on your fax machine (see page 1.7).
• In TEL mode, the automatic fax reception is turned off. You can receive
a fax only by picking up the handset and pressing Start/Enter .
The current receiving mode is displayed when the machine is in Standby
mode.
If you seldom use the fax line for voice conversations, set the fax machine
to receive a fax automatically by selecting FAX mode.
