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 explainin g h ow 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 set-up.
Answering calls manually — for both r ecept io n mo des
In either 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...
...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: 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.
Tel Ready mode: when Auto Ans wer is off
Use it if: • Y ou intend to use the same line for both fax and phone calls
and
• Y ou’re using, on that line, at least one other phone which is not
connected to your fax machine
and
• You have installed an optional handset on your fax machine.
In this mode: Your fax machine never answers calls automatically; you must
answer each call and handle it as described in “Answering calls
manually — for all reception modes” (this page, left column).
To select Tel Ready:
1. Press COPY/FAX to change to the Fax mode, if the machine isn’t the
Fax mode.
2. Press PROGRAM, I, and then ENTER six times. The LCD will show your
current reception mode.

Program/Enter
3. To change the reception mode, press PROGRAM once or twice until “Tel
Ready” appears.
4. Press ENTER to save the setting.
5. The machine will return to the standby mode.
In Tel Ready mode, the A u to Answer light isn’t lit.
