Automatic Reception
In this mode, when a call comes in, your fax machine automatically an- swers.
Note: You use feature switch 07 (see “Setting the Feature Switches” on Page 27) to set how many rings occur before the fax machine answers.
After the fax machine answers:
•If the fax machine detects fax tones, it receives the document.
•If the call is a voice call, the caller continues to hear several simu- lated ring signals. Then the fax machine starts to sound fax tones.
Notes:
•With feature switch 09, you can change the number of simulated rings that sound after the line connects to no rings (position 00) or between 3 and 11 rings. If you set this switch to 00, the fax machine does not sound simulated rings, and answers callers with a fax tone.
•If the call is long distance, the caller is charged from the time the simulated rings start, even if they hang up as soon as they hear the fax tones.
Answering Machine
Reception
Use this mode when you connect an
answering machine toand want to receive both phone messages and faxes while you are away.
Set your answering machine to answer calls within 4 rings. Otherwise, the fax machine answers after 40 seconds and sounds fax tones.
When someone calls, the answering machine answers the call and plays your announcement. If the fax machine detects fax tones during the announce- ment, it disconnects the answering machine and receives the fax.
Notes:
•If there are 6 seconds of silence, the fax machine begins sounding fax tones.
•In your outgoing announcement, tell callers to press START on their fax machine to send a fax.
•Automatic switching might not function properly on certain answering systems.
•You might have trouble retrieving answering machine messages from a remote phone if you con- nect it to the fax machine. Try set- ting the fax machine to the manual reception mode and feature switch 54 to 01 (ON).
