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.

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).
