THE FAX MACHINE
Receiving a Fax
Reception Modes
Your fax machine has various reception modes:
1.In FAX mode, the machine answers an incoming call and immediately goes into receive mode, expecting a fax to be sent.
2.In TEL mode, automatic fax reception is turned off. You can receive a fax only by manually pressing Start/Copy.
3.In AUTO mode on SF3000T, the machine operates as it does in FAX mode, except that your fax machine plays a greeting message to callers before receiving the fax. The caller canÕt leave a message for you in AUTO mode.
In AUTO mode on SF3000, your fax machine will answer faxes automatically. If the machine does not pick up a fax signal, it will give another ringing tone to tell you it is a phone call. You should lift the handset to answer the call. If you do not pick up the handset on your fax machine, it will switch to automatic reception mode.
4.In TAD mode on SF3000T, the machine operates as in AUTO mode, except that the caller can leave an incoming message on your machine, as well as a fax.
To use TAD mode on SF3000, you have to attach an answering machine to the EXT line socket on your fax machine (see page 4.10). When the phone rings, the answering machine answers and stores the callerÕs message if they leave one. If your machine hears a fax tone on the line, the call automatically switches over to fax receive mode.
If you rarely use the fax line for voice conversation, set the machine to receive faxes automatically by selecting either FAX mode or AUTO mode.
