Using Your Fax with an Answering Machine [TAD]
TAD is Telephone Answering Device / Fax Automatic
Switch Mode.
Use this mode to connect an answering machine to your
fax machine. Like Telephone/Fax mode, the Telephone
Answering Device mode detects whether an incoming call
is a fax or voice call. If it is a fax call, your fax machine
receives the fax. If it is a voice call, your fax machine
rings just as it does in Manual Receive mode. If no one
answers the call, your answering machine activates,
allowing the calling party to leave a message. If you set
the Remote Receive User Function Number 17 (Refer to
the “User Function” section of this handbook), the caller
can send a fax at any time during or after the recorded
message by using their keypad to enter the remote receive
number you have programmed. This number activates fax
reception. Add something like this to your answering
machine message: “To send a fax now, press XX [the
programmed number].”
Memory Reception Mode [MEM]
When set to this mode, your fax machine stores received
faxes in memory and does not print them out immediately.
Incoming Call Parameters
Ring Response: User Function 11
This function controls how long your fax machine waits
before answering an incoming telephone call. The available
settings are 1 RING (default), 5 SECONDS, 10 SECONDS,
15 SECONDS, or 20 SECONDS.
!
At the default 1-ring setting, your fax machine answers
calls immediately, and you will not hear any ring. If you
need to hear the ring, change to one of the other
settings.
Incoming Ring: User Function 16
This function controls the telephone ringing sound your fax
machine makes when a call comes in. When set to off, it does
not ring during incoming calls. The available settings are:
• ON (default): Only rings when set to Manual Receive
[TEL] mode or when the RING RESPONSE function is
set to 5, 10, or 20 seconds.
• OFF: Does not ring when a call comes in.
• DRC (distinctive ring cancel): Rings for each incoming
call with the same tone, even if you have set function
setting 12, DISTINCTIVE RING to on.
