Telephone/Fax Automatic Switch Mode [T/F]
When incoming calls are a mixture of fax and telephone calls, your best choice is the Telephone/Fax mode.
In this mode, your fax machine detects whether the incoming call is a fax or voice call.
When the call is from another fax machine, your machine switches to fax mode and automatically receives the message.
When the call is a voice call, your fax machine rings like a telephone. If you do not answer within 35 seconds, your fax machine switches back to fax mode to allow the calling party to send a fax manually.
Using Your Fax with an Answering Machine [TAD]
TAD is Telephone Answering Device / Fax Automatic Switch Mode.
Use this mode to connect an answering machine to your fax machine. Like Telephone/Fax mode, the Telephone Answering Device mode detects whether an incoming call is a fax or voice call.
If it is a fax call, your fax machine receives the fax.
If it is a voice call, your fax machine rings just as it does in Manual Receive mode.
If no one answers the call, your answering machine activates, allowing the calling party to leave a message.
If you set the Remote Receive User Function Number 16 (Refer to “Setting Basic Features, User Function Settings, User Function Settings List”), the caller can send a fax at any time during or after the recorded message by using their keypad to enter the remote receive number you have programmed. This number activates fax reception.
Add something like this to your answering machine message: “To send a fax now, press XX [the programmed number].”
