2.5.4How phone calls and faxes are received
If the number assigned for phone calls is called, a voice message will be recorded in the voice mail service. The fax machine will ignore the incoming call.
If the number assigned for fax is called, the fax machine will ring. If an extension telephone is connected on the same line, it will also ring. Then the fax machine will start fax reception automatically.
If you subscribe to three or more phone numbers on a single telephone line
Each phone number will be assigned a different ring pattern by the phone company.
To use one number for fax, program the ring pattern assigned for fax (feature #32 on page 45) by referring to the ring pattern table (page 44).
