Different Ways to Receive a Fax
The MultiPASS provides you with several modes for receiving faxes. Read this section to determine which mode best suits your requirements, by considering how you want to use the MultiPASS.
You can change the Receive Mode and the Receive Fax options through the MultiPASS Fax Setup Utility or through the operation panel. To adjust these settings fromthe Fax Setup Utility, see Setting Up Receive Fax Options in Chapter 3, Using the MultiPASS Fax Setup Utility, in the online Desktop Manager Software Guide. To adjust these settings through the operation panel, see Chapter 5, Receiving Faxes in the online Standalone Fax Manual.
❑Fax/Tel Mode
Use this mode if you will occasionally use the MultiPASS as a telephone. In this mode, if an incoming call is from a fax machine, the MultiPASS receives the faxes automatically, without ringing; if the call is from a person, the MultiPASS rings to alert you to pick up the telephone (connected to your unit) 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 from the Fax Setup Utility, see the online MultiPASS Desktop Manager Software Guide. To adjust these settings via the operation panel, refer to the online Standalone Fax Manual.
❑MANUAL MODE
Use this mode if you will frequently use the MultiPASS as a telephone and want to answer every call yourself, including fax calls. The MultiPASS rings for every call, whether phone or fax, and you must press the Start/Scan button to begin receiving a fax.
❑FAX ONLY MODE
Use this mode if the MultiPASS will be connected to a separate telephone line used only for faxing. The MultiPASS then answers all calls, and receives all faxes automatically.
❑ANS.MACHINE MODE
Use this mode if you plan to connect an answering machine to the MultiPASS to receive faxes and phone messages. The MultiPASS then receives incoming faxes normally, and routes incoming phone calls to the answering machine.
