Receiving Faxes

Choosing a Reception Mode

This machine has two reception modes:
FAX mode
TEL mode

FAX Mode

In this mode the machine automatically answers incoming calls. When a
call is receiv ed, the machine rings a few times to alert y ou that a message is
being sent, then starts receiving and printing the message.
FAX mode is ideal for a dedicated fax line.
Note
The machine cannot switch between FAX mode and TEL mode automatically.

TEL Mode

In this mode, the machine does not answer incoming calls automatically.
The machine will continue ringing until you pick up the handset (option),
or start fax reception manually.
This mode is useful if you ar e sharing the line with a telephone. If the caller
is a person, you can answer the telephone normally, but if it is a fax machine
you can still receive the message.
Note
On Hook dialling is not available in some locales.
This mode r equir es someone to be near the machine to r eceive fax messages. If
nobody answers the call, fax messages will not be received.
Receiving Calls in TEL Mode, see page 47.
