Setting the Reception Mode
Your fax has four modes for receiving incoming faxes:
FAX mode:
Select this mode when you only want to receive faxes on your line. The fax machine will automatically answer all calls and receive incoming faxes.
TEL mode:
This mode is the most convenient for receiving phone calls. Faxes can also be received; however, all calls must first be answered by picking up the fax's handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.
TEL/FAX mode:
This mode is convenient for receiving both faxes and voice calls. When a call comes in, the fax will detect whether it is a voice call (including manually dialled faxes), or an automatically dialled fax. If it is a voice call, the fax will make a special ringing sound to alert you to answer. If it is an automatically dialled fax, reception will begin automatically.
A.M. mode:
Use this mode only if you have connected an answering machine to the fax (see Chapter 5). Select this mode when you go out to receive voice messages in your answering machine and faxes on your fax machine.
