Receiving a Fax

About Reception Modes

Your product has four reception modes:

•In FAX mode, the product answers an incoming call and immediately goes into receive mode.

•In AUTO mode, the product answers an incoming call expecting to receive a fax. If the product does not sense a fax signal, it will continue to sound the ringing tone to tell you it is a phone call. If you do not lift the handset during the ringing, the product will switch to automatic fax reception mode.

•In ANS/FAX mode, an answering machine answers an incoming call, and the caller can leave a message on the answering machine. If your product 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 product (see page 1.9).

•In TEL mode, the automatic fax reception is turned off. You can receive a fax by picking up the handset and pressing Start FAX Black or Start FAX Color on the front panel of your SF-430 series product.

•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 5.41.
