TEL/FAX Mode Using AUTO Mode

To select TEL/FAX mode, press

RESOLUTION/

RECEPTION MODE

(with no document in the

feeder) until [TEL/FAX] appears in the display.

When the reception mode is set to TEL/ FAX, the machine automatically answers all calls on four rings (the number of rings is fixed). After answering, the machine monitors the line for about five seconds to see if a fax tone is being sent.

♦If the machine detects a fax tone (this means that the call is an automatically dialled fax), it will automatically receive the fax.

♦If your machine doesn't detect a fax tone (this means that the call is a voice call or manually dialled fax), it will make a special ringing sound for 15 seconds to alert you to pick up the machine’s handset (to change the number of seconds, see p. 49 and “PSEUDO RING DURATION” on p. 50). If you don't answer within this time, the machine will send a fax tone to the other machine to allow the calling party to send a fax manually.

Note: Only the machine will make the special ringing sound. An extension phone will not ring after the machine initially answers the call.

To select AUTO mode, press

RESOLUTION/

RECEPTION MODE

(with no document in the

feeder) until [AUTO] appears in the display.

In AUTO mode, the machine automatically answers all calls on two rings and receives incoming faxes.

♦If you pick up the handset before the machine answers, you can talk to the other party and receive a fax as explained in Using MANUAL Mode on page 36.

To change the number of rings on which the machine answers calls in AUTO mode, change the “NUMBER OF RINGS” setting (p. 49).

The machine automatically reduces received faxes as needed to fit the paper. If you prefer to have all faxes printed at full size, change the “RECEIVE RATIO” setting (pp. 49 and 53).
