SELECTING THE RECEPTION MODE
There are two ways you can set up
your machine to handle incoming
calls:
•Fax mode
• Tel mode (handset option or exter-
nal telephone required)
The default setting is Fax mode. You
can change this with the User Tools.
⇒ P.184 “Changing the User Parame-
ters”

Fax Mode (Auto Reception

Mode)

When a telephone call comes in, the
machine receives it automatically as a
fax message. Use this setting for a
dedicated fax line.

Telephone Mode

When a call comes in, you have to
pick up the handset or external tele-
phone and decide whether the call is
a fax message yourself. If you hear a
voice, continue your conversation as
you would using a normal telephone.
If you hear high pitched beeps, in-
struct the machine to receive the fax
by following the procedure below.
Use this setting if you wish to share
the line between the fax machine and
a telephone.
