TAD

F/T

You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear fax tones, press Start to begin receiving the fax, then hang up.

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. (This setting is recommended if the fax machine is on its own dedicated line.)

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’ll need to set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time features (on the following pages).
