Selecting the Reception Mode
Your fax has four modes for receiving incoming calls and faxes:
TEL mode:
This is the most convenient mode for receiving phone calls. You can also receive faxes; however, all calls must first be answered by picking up the fax’s handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.
FAX mode:
Select this mode when you only want to receive faxes on your line. The fax will automatically answer all calls and receive incoming faxes.
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 fax transmissions), 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 transmission, reception will begin automatically.
ANS. mode:
Select this mode when an answering machine is connected as explained in Chapter 6, A nswering Machine Connection, and you want the answering machine to answer all calls. This allows you to receive both voice messages and faxes while you are out.
