Using receive modes
5
Some receive modes answer automatically
(Fax Only and Fax/Tel). You may want to
change the Ring Delay before using these
modes. (See Ring Delay on page 30.)
Fax Only
5
Fax Only mode will automatically answer
every call as a fax.
Fax/Tel
5
Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically
manage incoming calls, by recognizing
whether they are fax or voice calls and
handling them in one of the following ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.
 Voice calls will start the F/T ring to tell you
to pick up the line. The F/T ring is a fast
double-ring made by your machine.
(Also see Ring Delay on page 30 and F/T
Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 30.)
Manual

Manual mode turns off all automatic
answering functions unless you are using the
Distinctive Ring Receive feature.
To receive a fax in Manual mode lift the
handset of the external telephone or press
Hook. When you hear fax tones (short
repeating beeps), press Start, and then press
2 to receive a fax. You can also use the Easy
Receive feature to receive faxes by lifting a
handset on the same line as the machine.
(Also see Easy Receive on page 31.)
External TAD

External TAD mode lets an external
answering device manage your incoming
calls. Incoming calls will be handled in the
following ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.
 Voice callers can record a message on the
external TAD.
(For more information, see Connecting an
external TAD (telephone answering device)
