To use the Telephone/Fax mode or Ans Machine/Fax mode, you must attach an external telephone or

In the Telephone/Fax mode, if the printer receives an incoming fax, the external telephone rings for the time
specified in Auto Rec TEL/FAX, and then the printer automatically receives a fax.
In the Ans Machine/Fax mode, if the caller leaves a message, the answering machine stores the message as it
would normally. If your printer hears a fax tone on the line, it automatically starts to receive a fax.
NOTE: If you have set your printer to Ans Machine/Fax and your answering machine is switched off, or no answering
machine is connected to your printer, your printer will automatically go into the fax receive mode after a predefined time.
