RECEIVING DOCUMENTS
Your fax has two modes of reception: AUTO and MANUAL. With MANUAL reception, you must first pick up the handset and then press the START key to receive a document. With AUTO reception, your fax automatically answers each call and receives the incoming document.
♦AUTO reception is most useful when you want to use your line as a dedicated fax line (you will only be receiving faxes on it).
♦MANUAL reception is most useful when you will be receiving both voice calls and fax messages on the same line.
Setting the mode of reception
The reception mode has been set to AUTO at the factory. If you want to change the setting, follow the steps below.

AUTO reception
In AUTO reception mode, the fax automatically answers all calls after 1 ring 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 5, "Optional Settings"). Any number from "0" to "9" can be selected. (Select "0" to have your fax answer calls without ringing.)
♦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 "MANUAL reception".
Note: If Option Setting 2 is set to a high number of rings, your fax may not be able to receive documents sent by automatic dialing. If you have difficulty receiving documents, change the setting of Option Setting 2 to a lower number.
Note: If you are using distinctive ringing, your fax will answer incoming calls after two rings regardless of the setting of Option Setting 2.
