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 button 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)

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).
