MODE

TEL/FAX ANS.

When the reception mode is set to TEL/FAX, your fax automatically answers all calls on 2 rings (See Option Setting 2 in Chapter 8). After answering, your fax monitors the line for about 5 seconds to see if a fax tone is being sent.

♦If your fax detects a fax tone (this means that the call is an automatically dialled fax), it will automatically begin reception of the incoming document.

♦If your fax doesn’t detect a fax tone (this means that the call is a voice call or manually dialled fax), it will make a ringing sound (called pseudo ringing) for 15 seconds to alert you to answer. If you don’t answer within this time, your fax will send a fax tone to the other machine to allow the calling party to send a fax manually if they desire.

Comments:

∙Only the fax will alert you to voice calls or manually dialled faxes by pseudo ringing. An extension phone connected to the same line will not ring after the connection has been made.

∙The duration of pseudo ringing can be adjusted with Option Setting 8. See Chapter 8, Option Settings.

∙You can change the number of rings on which the machine answers calls by changing Option Setting 2. (See Chapter 8, Option Settings.)
