If the user memory is full, the multi-function printer is changed to Tel mode.

Ans/Fax mode: The multi-function printer can share one telephone line with an answering machine. In this mode, the multifunction printer will monitor the fax signal and pick up the line if there are fax tones. If the phone communication in your country is serial, this mode is not available.

DRPD mode: Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) option, distinctive ring service must be installed on your telephone line by the telephone company. After the telephone company has provided a separate number for faxing with a distinctive ring pattern, configure the fax setup to monitor for that specific ring pattern .
