Fax Ready mode
Use it if: You have your fax machine installed on a “dedicated” line (one it
doesn’t share with a second phone).

number of rings (see page 2.4) and attempts fax receptio n.
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.

What if you answer a fax call?
Using a phone connected directly to your fax machine
If you answer a directly connected phone and hear fax tones, simply press START
and hang up the handset. Your fax machine will go ahead and receive the fax call.
Using a phone not connected to your fax machine
Let’s say you have another telephone connected to the same line (“branch
connected”) as, but not physically to, your fax machine. if you answer a call on
such a phone and hear fax tones, here’s what to do to receive the incoming fax:
1. Don’t hang up the line! Instead, either:
• Put the telephone handset down (but – again – don’t hang it up)
. . . or . . .
• If the telephone has a “hold” feature, put the phone on hold and then
hang up the handset.
2. Go to the fax machine.
3. Press MONITOR/CALL.
4. Press START.
5. Return to the telephone. If you didn’t put the phone on hold in step 1, hang
up its handset.
When the paper runs out
Getting the word from your machine
When your fax machine runs out of paper, the machine beeps, the REPLACE PAPER
light glows and the display indicates the “Please Supply Paper” message.
Of course, your fax machine cannot print fax messages or copies without paper.
However . . .
Receiving when fresh out of paper
If your machine runs out of paper while you’re away, it will store in memory up to
100 separate receptions (see the note, below). This is called out-of-paper reception.
Then, when you replenish the paper supply, the fax machine will print the stored
messages automatically! This is a great ease to your peace of mind, especially for
overnight and weekend sessions.
Note: How many pages (as opposed to receptions) your fax machine can store for
out-of-paper reception will vary. If depends upon not only your machine’s
memory capacity but also the types of documents being sent, and the
resolution settings at which the documents are sent, to your machine.
