Getting started

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 3.20.)

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.

Reception modes

Your fax machine has five different reception modes — Tel Ready, Fax Ready, Fax/Tel Ready, Tel/Fax Ready and Ans/Fax Ready. We’ll explain each of these in this section.

Tel Ready mode

Use it if:	• You want to use the same line for both fax and phone calls
	and
	• On that line, you’re using at least one other phone which is not
	connected to your fax machine
	or
	• You have an optional handset installed on your fax machine

In this mode: Your fax machine never answers calls automatically. You must answer each call as described in “Answering calls manually” (this page, left column).
