Receive Mode Settings
Select Receive ModeReceive Mode | For | |
1. | FAX ONLY | 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 fax line.) |
2. FAX/TEL (F/T) | Use this function if you expect to receive many fax messages | |
| (with an External Telephone) | 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 |
|
| 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:ANSWER MACH. | This is the only setting in which you can use an external |
| (with an External Answering | answering machine. Your telephone answering device |
| Machine) | 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. |
4. | MANUAL | Use this function if you receive many telephone calls and few |
| (with an External Telephone) | 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). |
