Receiving a Fax
Reception Modes
Your machine has four reception modes:
In TEL mode, automatic fax reception is turned off. You can receive a fax only by manually pressing START/COPY.
In FAX mode, the machine answers an incoming call and immediately goes into receive mode.
In TAD mode, the caller can leave a message on your answering machine. If a fax tone is detected, your fax machine begins reception automatically, overriding the answering machine’s announcement.
This mode is available only when you have connected an answering machine to the EXT. LINE jack on the rear of the machine.
In AUTO mode, the machine answers incoming faxes automatically. If no fax signal is detected, the machine gives a secondary ringing tone to advise you of an incoming call.
When the machine is in Standby mode, the LCD shows the current reception mode.
If you rarely use the fax line for voice conversation, set the fax machine to receive faxes automatically by selecting either FAX or AUTO mode.
