Receiving faxes

Answering calls manually

In any reception mode, you can always 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, use your optional handset to speak back.

If you hear fax tones (“beep — beep — beep”), press START and hang up the optional handset. The fax machine will begin receiving a fax.

Note: Receiving this way disables “V.34” mode so that the machine receives the fax in normal ITU-TGroup 3 fashion. (See page AI.2.)

Note: Don’t try to answer a call by pressing MONITOR/CALL. The monitor function is for dialing only.

Answering fax calls using another phone, not the fax machine

If you have one phone line ringing to several phones in your office and you have an optional handset attached to your fax, there’s no need to run to the fax machine to answer every call. If you happen to answer a fax call while you’re at another extension, put the handset down, but don’t hang up. Walk to the fax machine and pick up the optional handset. Then press START.

After you press START, hang up both the fax machine’s handset and the second telephone’s handset. Because remote fax machines will wait several seconds to hear reception tones from your unit, you have about 30 seconds to walk to your fax, pick up the handset, and press START.

Basic fax

Reception modes

Your fax machine has five different reception modes — Tel Ready, Fax Ready, Fax/Tel Ready, Tel/Fax Ready and Ans/Fax Ready. (See below for details.)

Note: To change the reception mode, refer to the “EasyStart,” on page 1.18.

Note: If you assign Auto Rx into a Soft Key, you can toggle Manual reception (Tel Ready) and Auto reception easily. (See page 4.1)
