Receive Mode

There are four different Receive Modes for your machine. You can choose the mode that best 
suits your needs.

Receiving a fax

LCD

How it works

When to use it

Fax Only

(automatic receive)

The machine automatically 
answers every call as a fax.

For dedicated fax lines.

Fax/Tel

(fax and telephone)

(with an external or 
extension telephone only)

The machine controls the 
line and automatically 
answers every call. If the call 
is a fax it will receive the fax. 
If the call is not a fax it will 
ring (pseudo/double ring) for 
you to pick up the call.

Use this mode if you expect to receive lots of fax messages 
and few telephone calls. You cannot have an answering 
machine on the same line, even if it is on a separate 
telephone wall jack on the same line. You cannot use the 
telephone companyā€™s Voice Mail in this mode.

External TAD

(with an external 
answering device only)

The external answering 
device (TAD) automatically 
answers every call. 

Voice messages are stored 
on the external TAD. If it is a 
fax call, the machine 
receives the fax.

Use this mode if you have connected an answering 
machine to the EXT jack of your machine.

The External TAD setting works only with an external 
answering machine. Ring Delay does not work in this 
setting.

Manual

(manual receive)

(with an external or 
extension telephone only)

You control the phone line 
and must answer every call 
yourself unless you are using 
the Distinctive Ring feature.

Use this mode if you do not receive many fax messages, 
use Distinctive Ring, or if you are using a computer on the 
same line.

If you answer and hear fax tones, wait until the machine 
takes over the call, then hang up. (See 

Easy Receive

 on 

page 6-5.)
