In Auto Answer mode, if the incoming call is a fax and you pick up the phone or
the answering machine answers, the WorkForce 310 Series automatically begins
receiving the transmission. If the other party is a caller, the phone can be used as
normal or a message can be left on the answering machine.
Note:
A phone or answering machine must be connected to the EXT. port for the WorkForce
310 Series to detect an incoming fax call when a phone is picked up. If a fax call comes
in, and you pick up the phone without having a phone or answering machine connected
to the EXT. port, the call will be disconnected when you hang up and the WorkForce
310 Series will not receive the fax.
