Answer/receive mode

!When no document is loaded, press the Ans.Mode/Contrast button until the desired option displays.

FAX

In Ready mode, FX appears in the right hand corner of the

 

mode

 

display.

 

 

When you get a call, the machine answers and receives the fax

 

 

 

automatically. When reception is complete, the machine returns to

 

 

 

Ready mode.

 

 

If you want to change the number of rings before it answers, see

 

 

 

Set rings to answer on page 27.

AUTO

In Ready mode, AU appears in the right hand corner of the

 

mode

 

display.

 

 

When a call comes in, the machine answers it. If a fax is being

 

 

 

sent, the device receives the fax. If the machine does not sense a

 

 

 

fax signal, it will ring 5 times in a different tone to tell you it may be

 

 

 

a regular telephone call. If you do not pick up the handset it will try

 

 

 

again to receive a fax after several more rings.

 

 

If you want to change the number of rings before it answers, see

 

 

 

Set rings to answer on page 27.

TAM

You must have an answering machine attached to the EXT line socket

 

mode

located on the bottom of your HP Fax.

 

 

In Ready mode, TM appears in the right hand corner of the

 

 

 

display.

 

 

When a call comes in, the answering machine answers and listens.

 

 

 

If it detects fax tones, it receives the fax; otherwise, it records the

 

 

 

caller’s message.

 

 

If you have set your machine to TAM Mode and your answering

 

 

 

machine is switched off or the answering machine is not connected

 

 

 

directly to your fax machine, the machine will automatically attempt

 

 

 

to receive a fax after several rings.

 

 

If your answering machine allows you to set the number of rings

 

 

 

before it answers the telephone, set the answering machine to

 

 

 

answer an incoming call in less than 4 rings.

 

 

When your answering machine answers an incoming call, it

 

 

 

records a fax tone until it realizes a fax is coming through. Due to

 

 

 

this, your answering machine may tell you a voice message has

 

 

 

been left, even when it is actually a fax.

TEL

In Ready mode, TL appears in the right hand corner of the

 

mode

 

display.

 

 

Automatic fax reception is turned off. You can receive a fax only by

 

 

 

lifting the handset and pressing Start/Enter.
