Receiving faxes

So what’s the big deal, anyway?!?

That may be what you’re wondering, upon seeing the title above. After all, telling you how to send faxes is one thing, but — as long as the fax machine is running and has paper installed — why spend time on explaining how to receive faxes?

Well, you have a point. Still, there are just a few little niceties you may find helpful to know. So …

Different ways to get the job done

Reception modes

Your fax machine has two different reception modes — Tel Ready and Fax Ready — each of which we’ll explain in a moment — along with giving you an idea of which one you should use, depending upon your setup.

Answering calls manually — for both reception modes

In either reception mode, you always can answer calls manually if you have an optional handset installed. Just pick it up, as you would if using a normal phone.

If you hear someone speaking to you, go ahead and have a normal phone call.

If you hear distinctive fax tones (“beep — beep

—beep — beep”), press START and hang up the optional handset. Your fax machine will begin

receiving a fax.

Note: On an F-150, receiving this way disables

“V.34” mode so that the machine receives the fax in normal ITU-TGroup 3 fashion.

Note: Don’t try to answer a call by pressing MONITOR/CALL. The monitor function is only for on-hook dialing. Your fax machine does not have a speakerphone.
