RECEIVING DOCUMENTS

Using FAX mode

When the reception mode is set to FAX (press the RECEPTION MODE key until "FAX" appears in the display), your fax automatically answers all calls on 4 rings and receives the incoming documents.

You can change the number of rings on which the fax answers incoming calls by changing Option Setting 2 (see Chapter 8, "Optional Settings"). Any number from 1 to 5 can be selected. Note, however, that reception of auto-dialed faxes may not be possible from certain fax machines if you select a large number of rings.

If you pick up the handset before your fax answers, you can talk to the other party and/or receive a document as described below in "Using TEL mode". For example, with the fax set to answer on 4 rings, you can receive both voice calls and fax messages in FAX mode by answering before the fourth ring, but still have the fax answer calls automatically at times when you are unable to respond personally.

Note: If you are using distinctive ringing, your fax will answer incoming calls after two rings regardless of the setting of Option Setting 2.

Using TEL mode

When the reception mode is set to TEL (press the RECEPTION MODE key until "TEL" appears in the display), you must answer all calls (including fax transmissions) using the fax’s handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.

Receiving documents on your fax machine

When your fax rings, pick up the hand- set.

If you hear a fax tone, wait until RECEIVING appears in the display, and then replace the handset.

If the other party first talks to you and

then wants to send a fax, press the START key after speaking (press your START key before the sender presses their Start key). Replace the handset.
