AUTO

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

 

mode

 

the 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

 

mode

socket located on the bottom of your HP Fax.

 

 

In Ready mode, TAM 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, TEL 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.
