Setting the Reception Mode
Your fax machine has four modes for receiving incoming calls and
faxes:
TEL
mode:
Select this mode when you want to receive both phone calls and faxes
on the fax machine.
All calls, including faxes, must be answered by
picking up the fax machine’s handset
.
FAX mode:
Select this mode when you only want to receive faxes. The fax
machine will automatically answer all calls and receive incoming
faxes.
TEL/FAX mode:
This mode is convenient for receiving both faxes and voice calls.
When a call comes in, the fax will detect whether it is a voice call
(including manually dialled fax transmissions), or an automatically
dialled fax. If it is a voice call, the fax will make a special ringing
sound to alert you to answer. If it is an automatically dialled fax
transmission, reception will begin automatically.
A.M.
mode:
Use this mode only if you have connected an answering machine to
the fax (see Chapter 6). Select this mode when you go out to receive
voice messages in your answering machine and faxes on your fax
machine.
