Receiving a Fax

Answer Mode Settings

Select Answer Mode

Manual—You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear fax tones, press Start or key 5 1 from an extension phone to begin receiving the fax, then hang up.

Fax Only—The 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.

F/T—The 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 an F/T pseudo-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). See “For F/T (Fax/Tel) Mode Only” on page 42 .

TAD (FAX-T74)—This is the only setting in which you can use an external answering machine. Your telephone answering device is connected to your machine via the socket in the line cord plug, and answers every call. Once the external telephone answering device (TAD) answers, the machine listens for fax tones. If it detects fax tones, it receives the fax.

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

TAD (FAX-T76)—The FAX-T76 provides you with a built-in digital Message Manager for fax and voice. When you set the machine to answer calls, it will record up to 15 minutes of messages. See “Message Manager (Only for FAX-T76)” on page 56 for more information.
