RECEIVING FAX MESSAGES
Selecting the Reception Mode
There are two ways to set up your machine to receive fax messages.
❐ Auto Receive Mode
❐ Manual Receive Mode
Press the reception mode key to switch between the modes.
Manual Receive Mode
This mode is selected when the Manual Receive indicator is lit.
This setting is convenient if you wish to use your fax machine’s handset to answer
telephone calls coming in on the same line as fax messages. However, your fax
machine cannot automatically receive fax messages; you have to be by the
machine if a fax message comes in.
The machine operates as follows.
1. The machine rings continuously until you answer the call. Pick up the handset.
2. If you hear a voice from the other end, speak in reply.
If you hear a tone every few seconds, the other end is a fax terminal.
Note: Remove any documents that are in the feeder.
3. If the person at the other end wishes to send you a fax message,
press Start to receive the message. Then hang up the handset.
4. The machine starts to receive the message.
The Communicating indicator lights.
