About Reception Modes

Your machine has four reception modes:
• In FAX mode, the machine answers an incoming call and immediately
goes into receive mode.
• In ANS/FAX mode, the answering machine answers an incoming call,
and the caller can leave a message on the answering machine. If the
fax machine senses a fax tone on the line, the call automatically
switches to the fax machine.
Note: To use the ANS/FAX mode, attach an answering machine to the
EXT jack on the back of your machine (see page 8.1).
• In TEL mode, the automatic fax reception is turned off. You can
receive a fax by picking up the handset of the extension phone and
pressing Start/Enter on the front panel of your SF-4700 Series
product.
Note: To use the TEL mode, connect an extension phone to the EXT
jack on the back of the machine.
• In DRPD mode, you can receive a call using the Distinctive Ring
Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature. “Distinctive Ring” is a telephone
company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to
answer several different telephone numbers. This mode is displayed
when you have set up the distinctive ring pattern. For details on this
feature, see page 4.4.
The current reception mode is displayed when the machine is in
Standby mode.
If you seldom use the fax line for voice conversations, set your
machine to receive a fax automatically by selecting the FAX mode.
