from an extension phone to begin receiving the fax,
then hang up.
Fax Only––The 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.
F/T––The 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 an F/T pseudo-
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).
TAD (For FAX-515)––This is the only setting in which you can use an
external answering machine. Your telephone answering device is
connected to your machine, and answers every call. Once the external
telephone answering device (TAD) answers, the machine 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). Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time do not work in this setting.
TAD (For FAX-525DT)––The FAX-525DT provides you with a built-in
digital Message Manager for fax and voice. When you set the machine to
answer calls, it will record up to 15 minutes of messages. For more
information about Message Manager operation, please see chapter 9.
