Description

Specifies the receiving mode

Notes:

TELMode—Automatic fax reception is turned off. You can receive a fax by picking up the handset of the external phone and then pressing the remote receive code, or by setting OnHook to On (you can hear voice or fax tones from the remote machine) and then pressing Start.

FAX Mode—A fax is automatically received.

TEL/FAX Mode—When the printer receives an incoming fax, the external telephone rings for the time specified by Auto Ans. TEL/FAX, and then the printer automatically receives the fax. If incoming data is not a fax, the printer sounds a beep over the internal speaker.

Ans/FAX Mode—The printer can share one telephone line with an answering machine. In this mode, the printer will monitor the fax signal and pick up the line if there are fax tones. If the phone communication in your country or region is serial, this mode is not available.

DRPD Mode—Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) option, distinctive ring service must be installed on your telephone line by the telephone company. After the telephone company has provided a separate number for faxing with a distinctive ring pattern, configure the fax setup to monitor for that specific ring pattern.
