Receiving documents in Fax Only Mode ________

When the FAXPHONE is set up for a dedicated line, it automatically receives
documents whenever a call comes over the fax line.

The FAXPHONE cannot receive automatically if you are making copies, printing
reports, or registering information. See p. 68.

The FAXPHONE assumes all incoming calls are from another fax machine sending a
document. It receives the documents automatically.

Receiving documents in Fax/Tel Mode __________

You can set the FAXPHONE to monitor all incoming calls over the fax/telephone line.
When the FAXPHONE receives an incoming call, it checks to see if the call is from
another fax machine trying to send a document or from someone wanting to talk to
you. You need to have an extension phone connected to your FAXPHONE for this
mode. See p. 13.

The FAXPHONE cannot receive automatically if you are making copies, printing
reports, or registering information. See p. 68.

When the FAXPHONE receives a call, it checks to see whether the call is from another
fax machine or from a telephone.

❚ If the INCOMING RING function is set to OFF, the FAXPHONE does not ring

(even if an extension phone is connected) when it receives a call from another fax
machine that is trying to send a document. This is so that you are not disturbed when
your FAXPHONE is communicating with another fax machine. The FAXPHONE
automatically receives the document.

❚ In Fax Only Mode or Fax/Tel Mode, if you want the extension phone to ring to make

sure that someone is sending you a document, you need to set INCOMING RING to
ON and connect an extension phone.

❚ If the call is from a person, the FAXPHONE rings to alert you to pick up the exten-

sion phone.

❚ If you do not pick up the handset of the extension phone within 15 seconds, the

FAXPHONE stops ringing. It checks again to make sure the call is not from a fax
machine and then hangs up.
