Section 4 Other Features of this Fax
TAD Reception
This reception mode is convenient for using a separately purchased telephone with answering machine capabilities together with this fax. If an incoming call is from a fax machine, fax reception will begin automatically. If the call is from a telephone, the functions of the answering machine will engage, so, even if you cannot answer, the caller will be able to leave a message.
*TAD Reception is only possible if a separately purchased telephone with answering machine capabilities is connected to this fax machine.
*Refer to the Instruction Manual for the telephone in use for details on recording and listening to messages, etc.
*BE SURE that the number of times your answering machine is set to ring is LESS than the number of times the fax is set to ring.
*If you have selected TAD Reception as the current recep- tion mode, MAKE SURE that, in the first minute after the telephone answers the incoming call, there are no silent pauses of 9 seconds or more [6 seconds or more for metric versions] in either the message you record or the message you receive. If there is such a pause, the silence detection function of this fax will be activated and the fax machine will switch to fax reception.
●Preparation
*Make sure that “Answering Machine” is displayed on the basic fax screen. If it is not, touch the reception mode select key and then touch the “Answering Machine” key.
