3 Receiving a Fax

Answer Mode Settings

Select Answer Mode

Manual—Use this function if you receive many telephone calls and few fax messages. You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear fax tones, wait until the machine takes over the call automatically, then hang up (see Fax Detect function).

Fax Only—Use this function if you want to receive fax messages only (no telephone calls). 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—Use this function if you expect to receive many fax messages and few phone calls. 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 will need to set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time features (on the following pages). (See For F/T (Fax/Tel) Mode Only, page 42.)

TAD (FAX-1020e)—This is the only setting in which you can use an external answering machine. Your telephone answering device answers every call. Once the external telephone answering device (TAD) answers, the machine listens for fax tones. If it detects fax tones, fax messages are printed.

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-1030e)—FAX-1030e provides you with a built-in digital Message Centre for fax and voice. When you set the machine to answer calls, it will record up to 30 minutes of messages. See Message Centre (Only for FAX-1030e), page 63 for more information.
