Are you connecting an external telephone or external 
TAD (telephone answering device) to the machine?

Your machine 
automatically answers 
every call as a fax.

Your machine controls 
the line and 
automatically answers 
every call. If the call is 
not a fax, the phone will 
ring for you to pick up 
the call.

Your external telephone 
answering device (TAD) 
automatically answers 
every call. Voice 
messages are stored on 
the external TAD. Fax 
messages are printed.

You control the phone 
line and must answer 
every call yourself.

Are you using the voice 
message function of your 
external TAD (telephone 
answering device)?

Do you want the machine to answer fax and 
telephone calls automatically?

Do you want to use the machine for fax only?
