Basic Receiving Operations

Select Answer Mode

There are four different receive modes for your machine. You may
choose the mode that best suits your needs by pressing 

Mode 

repeatedly

until the screen displays the setting you want to use.

You’ll need to connect an external telephone to select Fax/Tel (F/T) or
Manual Mode.

Answer Mode

For

1. MANUAL

You must answer all calls yourself. If you
hear fax tones, press 

Start

 to begin

receiving the fax, then hang up.

2. FAX ONLY

The machine automatically answers every
call as a fax call. You cannot receive a
voice call, but, if you have connected an
External telephone, you can still dial out
and make voice calls. (This setting is
recommended if the fax machine is on its
own dedicated line.)

3. FAX/TEL

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).
