Oki 56801 manual Telephone/Fax Auto Switch Mode T/F, Telephone Answering Device Mode TAD

answer the telephone and someone tries to send you a fax mes- sage, your machine will not accept it.

Note: Some older types of fax machines do not send CNG tones and the line may be silent when you answer a call in TEL answering mode.

If you answer a call using a telephone connected to the same telephone line, but not connected directly to your fax machine, you can remotely tell your fax machine to start fax reception by entering a two digit remote receive number using the telephone keypad. See Remote Receive on page 55 in Programming later in this User’s Guide.

Telephone/Fax Auto Switch Mode [T/F]

When incoming calls are a mixture of fax and telephone calls, your best choice is the Telephone/Fax Auto SW 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 will switch to fax mode and receive the mes- sage.When the call is a voice call, your fax machine will ring like a telephone. If you do not answer, your fax machine will switch back to fax mode to allow the calling party to manually send a fax.

Note: Only use this mode if the telephone is located close to your fax machine. After the initial ring, the telephone falls silent, but the fax machine continues ringing.

Telephone Answering Device Mode [TAD]

Use this mode if you have connected an answering machine to your fax machine. When a call is received and is not answered,

your answering machine activates and is ready to send out your recorded outgoing message. At the same time, your fax machine monitors the incoming call to check if the call is a fax or voice call. If the incoming call is a fax call, your fax machine will receive the fax and no voice message will be recorded on your answering machine. If the incoming call is a voice call, then your fax machine will not activate and the calling party will be able to leave a voice message on your answering machine.

Note: In some countries, the Telephone Answering Device mode is normally turned off. To have it turned on, contact your dealer.

Memory Reception Mode [MEM]

Use this answering mode if you want incoming faxes to be stored in the memory of your fax machine and not immediately printed. You can then use the 2/Print Operation One-Touch Key print operation to print out any messages that have been stored in memory.

Fax Forwarding Mode [FWD]

When set to this mode, your fax machine receives all fax mes- sages into memory, and then automatically re-sends the fax messages to the forwarding number programmed into your fax machine. For information on setting the forwarding number, refer to “Setting Forwarding Number” on page 27 in Installa- tion.
