Reception Modes
Your fax machine has four reception modes:
¥ In FAX mode, the machine answers an incoming call and immediately goes into receive
mode, expecting a fax to be sent.
¥ In TELmode, automatic fax reception is turned off. You can receive a fax only by
manually pressing Start/Copy.
¥ In AUTO mode, your fax machine will answer faxes automatically. If you want to use
your phone line for both fax and phone, you may want to choose this AUTO mode. If
the machine does not sense a fax signal, it will resume ringing to tell you it is a phone
call. If you do not pick up the handset, it will switch to automatic reception mode.
¥ In TAD mode, you must attach an answering machine to the EXT line socket on your
machine. When the phone rings, the answering machine answers and stores the callerÕs
message. If your machine hears a fax tone on the line, the call automatically switches
over to fax receive.
If you rarely use the fax line for voice conversation, set the machine to receive faxes
automatically by selecting either FAX or AUTO mode.
