Automatic reception
Select this mode if you use the fax board with a telephone line that you use exclusively for fax reception.
If you select Automatic reception mode, the board receives faxes automatically any time fax data is received and the printer it turned on. If you wish, you can connect a telephone to the PHONE connector and place calls when the fax board is not receiving a fax, but you cannot answer any calls.
Selective reception
Use this mode if you want the fax board to share the same line with a telephone.
In this mode the telephone rings for a short time (15 or 30 seconds, depending on your setting) when a call comes in and then the board begins fax reception if you do not answer the telephone. If you answer the phone and it is a fax transmission, you press the manual reception button and transmission begins. If it is a voice call and you do not answer the phone, the caller will hear a fax tone.
You can place telephone calls any time the board is not receiving a fax.
