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 on the same line. You cannot
use the telephone company’s Voice
Mail in this mode.
TAD:ANSWER
MACH.
(with an
external
answering
device)
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 connected
an external answering machine to
your machine.
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 if you do not receive
many fax messages, with Distinctive
Ring or if you are using a computer
on the same line.
If you answer and hear fax tones,
wait until the machine takes over the
call, then hang up. (See
