Chapter 2 Initial Settings
Selecting the Reception Mode
Your fax has two modes for receiving incoming calls and faxes:
AUTO mode: In AUTO mode, the fax will automatically answer all calls after four rings and receive the incoming document.
MANUAL mode: In MANUAL mode, you must answer all calls, including fax messages, using the fax’s handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.
If you only intend to receive fax messages on the line connected to your fax ma- chine, select AUTO mode. In this case, you will probably want to change the number of rings your fax waits before answering to one or two rings. This is done by setting Option Setting 2 as described in Chapter 9, "Optional Settings".
If you intend to receive both fax messages and voice calls on the line connected to your fax machine, you can use either AUTO or MANUAL mode. In the case of AUTO mode, you must answer incoming calls before the fax does, but the fax will be able to receive fax messages at times when you are unable to answer personally. For more information on using AUTO and MANUAL modes, see Chapter 4, "Receiving Documents".
