Answer/receive mode

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, 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/Enter.
