Sony IJP-V100 - Manual (Page 62)

Advanced fax receive features
Phone Answering: Automatic or Manual
When Phone Answering is set to Automatic, the Sony IJP-V100 will
automatically answer every call received at your fax number. When
set to Manual, you must answer fax calls manually (see the previous
section, “Manually Receiving Faxes” for instructions).
When you first installed the Sony IJP-V 100 software, the Setup Wiz­
ard asked you a series of questions about your phone lines and equip­
ment. Your answers determined the
appropriate option for this setting
(and many others) and the Setup Wizard set it for you automatically.
If you decide to change this setting now, you should do it only tempo­
rarily (for one fax only), then change it back,
or, if you have changed
your equipment setup since you first installed the Sony IJP-V 100, re­
run the Setup Wizard and make your changes there. (Refer to “Updat­
ing your fax receive setup” later in this chapter for instructions on
how to locate the Setup Wizard.)
To change the
Phone Answering setting;
O
Look at the Sony IJP-V 100 keypad to determine the current
Phone Answering setting.
If the green
Auto Answer light is on, the Phone Answering setting is
Automatic, and your Sony IJP-V 100 is set to receive faxes automati­
cally. It will automatically answer every call you receive at your fax
number — after the number of rings specified in the Rings to Answer
setting — then send receiving fax tones.
If the
Auto Answer light is off, the Phone Answering setting is Man­
ual, and your Sony IJP-VlOO can only receive faxes manually. It will
never answer incoming calls automatically.
o Press the Auto Answer button to change the setting.
Notes;
1) If you
haven’t changed your equipment setup since you answered
the questions in the software during your first-time installation, don’t
permanently change this setting now or you may not receive your
faxes properly.
2) For a detailed description of how your equipment should be set up
and the corresponding answering settings, see “Step 6. Connect Your
Equipment” in Chapter 1.
