Setting the Reception Mode

Setting the Reception Mode

Your fax has four modes for receiving incoming calls and faxes:

TEL mode:

Select this mode when you want to receive both phone calls and faxes on the line connected to the fax machine.

All calls, including faxes, must be answered by picking up the fax

machine's handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.

FAX mode:

Select this mode when you only want to receive faxes on your line. The fax machine will automatically answer all calls on two rings and receive incoming faxes.

TEL/FAX mode:

This mode is convenient for receiving both faxes and voice calls. When a call comes in, the fax will detect whether it is a voice call (including manually dialled fax transmissions), or an automatically dialled fax. If it is a voice call, the fax will make a special ringing sound to alert you to answer. If it is an automatically dialled fax transmission, reception will begin automatically.

A.M. mode:

Use this mode only if you have connected an answering machine to the fax (see Chapter 6). Select this mode when you go out to receive voice messages in your answering machine and faxes on your fax machine.
