Receiving
This section shows how to receive faxes and control the functions that affect the way you receive faxes.
Manual vs. Automatic Fax Machines
Facsimile machines come in two basic types:
•Manual fax machines require the sender to dial the number, listen for a fax “tone” from the receiving machine (or tell the receiving operator to press the START key on their machine), and then press [START/COPY] to send.
•Automatic fax machines detect the presence of the receiving machine after it answers, and automatically send a document with no operator intervention.
With the handset in the cradle using memory dialing, your unit sends a document as an automatic fax machine. With the handset up, it sends a document as a manual fax machine. Your facsimile machine can receive documents from either type of machine.
