Setting up to receive faxes

Fax/Tel Mode ____________________________________

If you only have one phone line in your office, you can set the FAXPHONE to receive

both documents and telephone calls. You need to have an extension phone connected1 to your FAXPHONE for this mode. See p. 13.

Setting Fax/Tel Mode

The FAXPHONE is set up at the factory to this mode. You only need to follow this procedure if you have changed the factory setting.

2 Press [START/COPY].

 

When this mode is set, the LCD will display the

09/15/97 Fax/Tel

date and “Fax/Tel”.

 

Receiving documents and calls in Fax/Tel Mode

You can set the FAXPHONE to monitor all incoming calls over the fax/telephone line. When the FAXPHONE receives an incoming call, it checks to see if the call is from another fax machine trying to send a document, or from someone wanting to talk to you.

The FAXPHONE cannot receive a document automatically if you are making copies, printing reports, or registering information. See p. 68.

1 Make sure you have connected an extension phone to your FAXPHONE. See p. 13.

2 Make sure the FAXPHONE is set to “Fax/Tel Mode” (see above).

When the FAXPHONE receives a call, it checks to see whether the call is from another fax machine or from a telephone.

If it is a fax call, your FAXPHONE automatically switches to receive mode to accept the fax.

If the call is from a person, your FAXPHONE rings to alert you to pick up the handset of the extension phone.
