Different Ways to Receive a Fax

The LASER CLASS 2060P provides you with three different modes for receiving faxes. To decide which mode will best suit your requirements, consider how you want to use the LASER CLASS 2060P:

FAX/TEL AUTO SW

You can select Fax/Tel Mode, MANUAL MODE, or ANS. MACHINE MODE in FAX/TEL AUTO SW.

FAX ONLY MODE

You can select FAX ONLY MODE, MANUAL MODE, or ANS.

MACHINE MODE in FAX ONLY MODE.

DRPD (Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection)

The DRPD feature of your LASER CLASS 2060P allows you to have two or more telephone/fax numbers assigned to your LASER CLASS 2060P using only one telephone line.

You can use this feature when you subscribe to a DRP service offered by some telephone companies.

❏Fax/Tel Mode

Use this mode if you will occasionally use the LASER CLASS 2060P as a telephone. In this mode, if an incoming call is a fax, the LASER CLASS 2060P then receives the fax automatically, without ringing; if the call is from a telephone, the LASER CLASS 2060P rings to alert you to pick up the handset or telephone to answer the call. This mode is economical, in that it allows you to have phone and fax service without the expense of an additional phone line.

This mode also includes settings that let you control precisely how it handles incoming calls. To adjust these settings via the operation panel, see page 7-5.

❏MANUAL MODE

Use this mode if you will frequently use the LASER CLASS 2060P as a telephone and want to answer every call yourself, including fax calls. The LASER CLASS 2060P then rings for every call, whether phone or fax, and you must press the Start/Copy button to begin receiving a fax.
