Choosing the Receive Mode
There are four different Receive Modes for the fax machine. You can choose the
mode that best suits your needs.
* In
FAX/TEL
mode you must set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time. If you have
extension phones on the line, keep the Ring Delay set to 4 rings.

How it works
When to use it
FAX ONLY
(automatic receive)
The fax machine
automatically answers
every call as a fax.
For dedicated fax lines.
FAX/TEL
*
(fax and telephone)
The fax machine controls
the line and
automatically answers
every call. If the call is a
fax it will receive the fax.
If the call is not a fax it will
ring (pseudo/double ring)
for you to pick up the call.
Use this mode if you expect to receive lots of fax
messages and few telephone calls. You cannot
have an answering machine on the same line, even
if it is on a separate wall jack (phone socket) on the
same line. You cannot use the telephone
company’s Voice Mail in this mode.
TAD:ANSWER MACH.
(with an external
answering machine)
The external answering
device (TAD)
automatically answers
every call.
Voice messages are
stored on the external
TAD. Fax messages are
printed.
Use this mode if you have an external answering
machine on your phone line.
The TAD setting works only with an external
answering machine. Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time
do not work in this setting.
MANUAL
(manual receive)
You control the phone
line and must answer
every call yourself.
Use this mode when you are using a computer
modem on the same line or if you don’t receive
many fax messages or with Distinctive Ring.
If you hear fax tones, wait until the machine takes
over the call, then hang up. (See
Easy Receive
on
page 5-3.)
