Automatic Fax/Phone Changeover
This is a special function in AUTO reception mode which is convenient for receiving
both faxes and voice calls. When it is turned on, your fax will detect whether an
incoming call 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.
Comments:
••
Automatic Fax/Phone Changeover is normally used in
AUTO
reception mode. However, it
can also be used in
MANUAL
(telephone) reception mode if Option Setting 3 is set to YES.
••
When this function is enabled, the machine may not be connected to lines listed in telephone
directories issued by public network operators. Publication of the number of this machine
should be accompanied with advice of the function.
Turning Automatic Fax/Phone Changeover on
Automatic Fax/Phone Changeover is turned on by setting Option Setting 8 to "YES".
The procedure for doing this is described in Chapter 6, "Option Settings".
♦
Make sure the reception mode is set to AUTO.
How the function operates
When a call comes in, your fax will answer it after the number of rings set with Option
Setting 2. After answering, the fax monitors the line for about 5 seconds to see if a fax
tone is being sent.
♦
If your fax detects a fax tone (this means that the call is an automatically dialled
fax), it will automatically begin reception of the incoming document.
♦
If your fax doesn’t detect a fax tone (this means that the call is a voice call or
manually dialled fax), it will make a special ringing sound (called pseudo ringing) for
15 seconds to alert you to answer. If you don’t answer within this time, your fax will
send a fax tone to the other machine to allow the calling party to send a fax
manually if they desire.
Comments:
••
Only the fax will alert you to voice calls or manually dialled faxes by pseudo ringing. An
extension phone connected to the same line will not ring after the connection has been made.
••
The duration of pseudo ringing can be adjusted with Option Setting 9. See Chapter 6,
"Optional Settings".
••
The volume of the pseudo ringer is controlled by pressing the
FUNCTION
key and then the
SPEAKER
key, followed by the "
#
" or "
*
" keys. Make sure the speaker volume is turned up
sufficiently to hear the pseudo ringer.
