Selecting the Reception Mode

Selecting the Reception Mode

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

TEL mode:

This is the most convenient mode for receiving phone calls. You can also receive faxes; however, all calls must be answered first by picking up the fax’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 will automatically answer all calls and receive incoming faxes sent automatically.

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.

ANS. mode: Select this mode when you are out and want the built-in answering machine to answer all calls. Voice messages will be recorded, and fax messages will be received automatically.
