Receiving a Fax

About Reception Modes

Your machine has five reception modes as described below:

•FAX mode, the machine answers an incoming call and immediately goes into receive mode.

•AUTO mode, the machine answers the incoming call. If a fax signal is not detected, the WorkCentre Pro 580 sounds a ringing tone to indicate a voice phone call. If the handset or external phone is not lifted while the ringing tone is sounding, the machine will switch to automatic fax reception mode.

•To use the ANS/FAX mode, you have to attach an answering machine to the EXT.LINE jack on your fax machine. If the WorkCentre Pro 580 senses a fax tone, it automatically switches to fax reception mode. However, if a fax is not sensed, the WorkCentre Pro 580 routes the call to the answering machine, and the caller can leave a message.

•In TEL mode, the automatic fax reception is turned off. You can only receive a fax by manually picking up the handset or external phone and pressing the Start/Enter button to receive the fax.

•DRPD (Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection)

“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. The number used to call a phone with this feature is identified by a distinctive ringing pattern consisting of various combinations of long and short ringing tones. This feature is often used by answering services that answer telephones for many different clients and need to know which number is being called by the ringing pattern of the phone.
