Using receive modes

Some receive modes answer faxes automatically (Fax Only and Fax/Tel). You may want to change the Ring Delay before using these modes. (See Ring Delay on page 48.)

Fax Only

Fax Only mode will automatically answer every call as a fax.

Fax/Tel

Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically manage incoming calls, by recognising whether they are fax or voice calls and dealing with them in one of the following ways:

„Faxes will be automatically received.

„Voice calls will start the F/T ring to tell you to pick up the line. The F/T ring is a fast double ring made by your machine.

„Use this mode if you receive few voice calls.

(Also see F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 48 and Ring Delay on page 48.)

Manual

Manual mode turns off all automatic answering functions unless you are using the

Distinctive Ring 1 feature.

1Fax Ability in New Zealand.

To receive a fax in Manual mode lift the handset of the external telephone. When you hear fax tones (short repeating beeps), press Mono Start, and then press 2 to receive a fax. You can also use the Fax Detect feature to receive faxes by lifting a handset on the same line as the machine.

(Also see Fax Detect on page 49.)

If you use a computer modem on the same line, Faxing will not operate correctly.
