RECEIVING DOCUMENTS
Different ways to receive a document
Your fax provides you with several modes for receiving documents. To determine which mode best suits your
requirements, see the table below.
Setting the receive mode
Receiving both documents and telephone calls
automatically: Fax/Tel mode
If you set Fax/Tel mode, you can control precisely how the fax handles incoming calls by adjusting the following
settings:
• Adjust the time the fax takes to check whether a call is from a fax machine or a telephone (RING START TIME
setting).
• Adjust the length of time the fax rings when the call is a voice call (F/T RING TIME setting).
• Set whether the fax switches to receive mode after the ring time set in F/T RING TIME has elapsed (DEFAULT
ACTION setting).
