Receiving a Fax
22
BASIC F
AX USE
Now, when a call comes in and the machine is set to Fax/Tel (F/T) Mode, all phones on this line will
ring the number of times you selected in Ring Delay.
You can let the machine pick up and detect if it’s a fax or voice call. If it’s a fax call, the machine
prints the fax. If it’s a voice call, the machine signals you with an F/T pseudo-ring for the length of
time you selected in F/T Ring Time.
Fax Detect (set ON by default)
When you use this feature, you don’t have to press
Fax Start
when you answer a fax call and hear
calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait for several seconds. When you see
RECEIVING
on
the fax screen or when you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone connected to
another wall socket, just replace the handset, and the machine does the rest. Selecting
ON
allows the
machine to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or external
phone. Selecting
SEMI
lets the fax machine receive the call only if you’ve answered it at the
machine. Selecting
OFF
means you’ll have to activate the machine yourself, by pressing
Fax Start

Even if the caller hangs up during the F/T pseudo-ringing, the machine continues
the F/T pseudo-ringing for the set time.
