Basic Receiving Operations
Select Receive Mode
MANUAL —You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear fax tones, press
Fax Start to begin receiving the fax, then hang up. You can use this mode with
Distinctive Ringing. (See Distinctive Ring, page 8-1.)
FAX ONLY —The fax machine automatically answers every call as a fax call. You
cannot receive a voice call, but you can dial out and make a voice call.
FAX/TEL —The fax machine automatically answers every call. If the call is a fax, it
prints the fax. If the call is not a fax, it signals you with a double-ring (ring-ring),
different from the phone company ringing, to alert you to pick up the call. If you select
this setting, you’ll need to set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time features (on the
following pages). If you have extension phones on the same line as the fax machine,
set Ring Delay to 4. (See For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-6.)
TAD:ANSWER MACH. —This is the only setting in which you can use an external
answering machine. Your telephone answering device is connected to your FAX, and
answers every call.
Once the TAD answers, the FAX listens for fax tones. If it detects fax tones, it prints
the fax.
The TAD setting works only with an external telephone answering device (TAD); it
does not work with telephone company Voice Mail. Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time
do not work in this setting.
