Setting the Answering Mode

The answering mode determines how your OKIFAX handles incoming fax and voice calls. The standby display shows the current answering mode.

Answering Mode Options

The answering mode you choose depends on how you use your OKIFAX and what telephone equipment is con- nected to it. Read through the mode descriptions below, then follow the instructions to change to the mode that best fits your needs.

Manual Receive mode [TEL]: If you use the same line for both fax and telephone calls and the majority of your incoming calls are telephone calls, then the TEL answering mode is your best choice. Each time someone calls, your OKIFAX rings like a telephone—it does not automatically answer. You can answer from either an external handset or tele- phone connected to your OKIFAX. If you pick up the handset and hear fax tones, press the Start key to receive the fax. If you do not answer the phone and someone tries to send you a fax message, your machine will not ac- cept it.

Auto Receive mode [FAX]: If your OKIFAX is connected to a telephone line reserved only for fax communications, use the Auto Receive mode. Your OKIFAX assumes all in- coming calls are fax messages and automatically receives them.

Telephone/Fax Auto Switch mode [T/F]: When incoming calls are a mixture of fax and telephone calls, your best choice is the Telephone/Fax mode. In this mode, your OKIFAX de- tects whether the incoming call is a fax or voice call. When the call is from another fax machine, your machine switches to fax mode and automatically receives the mes- sage. When the call is a voice call, your OKIFAX rings like a telephone. If you do not answer within 35 seconds, your OKIFAX switches back to fax mode to allow the calling party to send a fax manually.

Telephone Answering Device mode [TAD]: Use this mode if you have connected an answering machine to your OKIFAX. Like Telephone/Fax mode, the Telephone Answering Device mode detects whether an incoming call is a fax or voice call. If it is a fax call, your OKIFAX receives the fax. If it is a voice call, your OKIFAX rings just as it does in Manual Receive mode. If no one answers the call, your an- swering machine activates, allowing the calling party to leave a message. If you set the Remote Receive user func- tion (page 52), the caller can send a fax at any time during or after the recorded message by using their keypad to en- ter the remote receive number you have programmed. This number activates fax reception. Add something like this to your answering machine message: “To send a fax now, press XX [the programmed number].”

Memory Receive mode [MEM]: When set to this mode, your OKIFAX stores received faxes in memory and does not print them out immediately. See page 37 for details
