Oki 740 manual Reception, TEL Mode, TEL/FAX Mode, TAD Mode

Reception FAX Mode

Your OKIFAX 740 provides four modes for call reception:

•TEL mode

•FAX mode

•TEL/FAX mode

•TAD mode

Each mode is selectable at any time by pressing [RECEIVE MODE]. You may also set the machine’s default mode (the mode adopted by your OKIFAX 740 when it is switched on) by programming function 47.

TEL Mode

In this mode your OKIFAX 740 will not automatically answer incoming calls. This is convenient if you have a normal telephone installed and wish to answer incoming voice calls on the same line.

If you answer a call and hear a remote fax machine (short beeps at 3-second intervals), press [START] to begin fax reception.

In this mode of operation your OKIFAX will automatically answer incoming calls with a fax answer tone. This is appropriate if your telephone line is dedicated to fax.

TEL/FAX Mode

In this mode your OKIFAX 740 will automatically answer incoming calls. If it detects a remote fax machine calling it will automatically respond and receive the fax message.

If no remote fax machine is detected your OKIFAX 740 will emit a high-pitched audible tone. In this case, lift your telephone handset and press [STOP] to begin a voice conversation.

After a voice exchange, to commence a fax exchange press [START] and hang up the telephone.

TAD Mode

TAD stands for ‘Telephone Answering Device,’ and is appropriate if you wish to receive both voice and fax calls while the OKIFAX 740 is unattended.
