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 Receive Mode repeatedly until the screen displays the setting you want to use.

You’ll need to connect an external telephone to select Fax/Tel (F/T) or Manual Mode.

Receive 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 line.)
2. FAX/TEL (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. If you
		select this setting, you’ll 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 is
	Machine)	connected to the machine, and 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
		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).
