Receive Mode Settings

Select Receive Mode

There are four different receive modes for the machine. You may choose the mode that best suits your needs by pressing the Mode key repeatedly until you have changed the Fax and F/T lights to the setting you want to use.

You will need to connect an external telephone to select Fax/Tel (F/T) or Manual Mode or an external TAD to select TAD Mode.

1. FAX

Fax

TAD

F/T

Use this function if you want to receive fax messages only (no telephone calls). The machine should be connected on its own line. The machine automatically answers every call as a fax call. You cannot receive a voice call, but, if you have connected an External telephone, you can still dial out and make voice calls. (This setting is recommended if the machine is on its own dedicated line.)

	2. FAX/TEL (F/T)	Fax
	(with an External	Fax
	(with an External	TAD
	Telephone)	TAD
		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. Lift the external telephone’s handset, and then press Tel to answer. If you select this setting, you will need to set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time features (on the following pages).

3. TAD

Fax

(with an External

Answering TADMachine)

F/T

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. (See Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD), page 6.)

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.

4. MANUAL	Fax	Use this function if you receive many telephone calls and few
(with an External	Fax	fax messages. You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear
(with an External
Telephone)	TAD fax tones, wait until the machine takes over the call
	F/T	automatically, then hang up (see Fax Detect function).
