Using Your Fax with an Answering Machine [TAD]

TAD is Telephone Answering Device / Fax Automatic Switch Mode.

Use this mode to connect an answering machine to your fax machine. Like Telephone/Fax mode, the Telephone Answering Device mode detects whether an incoming call is a fax or voice call. If it is a fax call, your fax machine receives the fax. If it is a voice call, your fax machine rings just as it does in Manual Receive mode. If no one answers the call, your answering machine activates, allowing the calling party to leave a message. If you set the Remote Receive User Function Number 17 (Refer to the “User Function” section of this handbook), the caller can send a fax at any time during or after the recorded message by using their keypad to enter the remote receive number you have programmed. This number activates fax reception. Add something like this to your answering machine message: “To send a fax now, press XX [the programmed number].”

Memory Reception Mode [MEM]

When set to this mode, your fax machine stores received faxes in memory and does not print them out immediately.

Fax Forwarding Mode [FWD]

When set to this mode, your fax machine receives all fax messages into memory, and then automatically resends them to the forwarding number you have programmed into the machine. Refer to the “Answering Mode, Fax Forwarding Mode [FWD]” section of this handbook for details on how to set the forwarding number. This mode is available only if a forwarding number has been programmed.

PC Mode [PC]

Use this mode if you have the Multifunction Printer Option (also known as the PC interface option) installed in your fax machine and want to store incoming faxes on your computer’s hard disk instead of printing immediately. If your computer is off or not functioning, your fax machine acts as a standalone fax machine and prints any incoming faxes.
