Basic Receiving Operations

Select Answer Mode

MANUAL—You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear fax tones, press Start to begin receiving the fax, then hang up. You can use this mode with Distinctive Ringing. (See Distinctive Ring, page 8-1.)

FAX ONLY—The fax machine automatically answers every call as a fax call. You cannot receive a voice call, but you can dial out and make a voice call.

FAX/TEL—The fax machine automatically answers every call. If the call is a fax, it prints the fax. If the call is not a fax, it signals you with a double ring (ring-ring), different from the phone company ringing, to alert you to pick up the call. If you select this setting, you’ll need to set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time features (on the following pages). If you have extension phones on the same line as the fax machine, set Ring Delay to 4. (See For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-5.)

TAD—This is the only setting in which you can use an external answering machine. Your telephone answering device is connected to your FAX, and answers every call. Once the TAD answers, the FAX listens for fax tones. If it detects fax tones, it prints the fax.

The TAD setting works only with an external telephone answering device (TAD); it does not work with telephone company voice mail. Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time do not work in this setting.
