TAD — This is the only setting in which you can use an answering machine. Your telephone answering device is connected to your fax machine, and answers every call. Once the TAD answers, the fax machine listens for fax tones. If it detects fax tones, it prints the fax.

The TAD setting works only with an external telephone answering device (TAD); it does not work with telephone company voice mail. Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time do not work in this setting.

Easy Receive

When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Start when you answer a fax call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait a few seconds. When you see “RECEIVE” on the fax screen or when you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone connected to another wall jack, just replace the handset, and the fax machine does the rest. Selecting ON allows the machine to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an external or extension phone. Selecting SEMI lets the fax machine receive the call only if you’ve answered it at the fax machine. Selecting OFF means you’ll have to

activate the fax machine yourself, by pressing Start or by pressing

 

5 1 if

 

you are not at the fax machine.

 

 

In case Easy Receive does not work, because of a poor phone line connection, just

press Start or press the Activation Code

connect a fax call when you lift the extension phone handset, press 5 1 . At the fax machine, lift the handset and press Start .

If you send faxes from a computer on the same phone line and your fax machine intercepts them, turn Easy Receive SEMI or OFF.
