Receiving Faxes
Selecting the Reception Mode
Your Pro 16fx has three modes for receiving incoming calls and faxes. A light for each mode is
located above the Reception key on the fax control panel. To select the reception mode, press
the
Reception
key until the light next to the desired mode comes on.
Below are descriptions of the three reception modes:
Auto mode
Select this mode when you only want to receive faxes on your telephone line. The machine will
automatically answer all calls and receive incoming faxes.
Manual mode
This is the most convenient mode for receiving phone calls if you have an external phone. To
have true manual mode, the machine must be set not to answer while in Manual mode (see
Setting the Number of Rings for Manual Reception
in this section). You can also receive
faxes; however, all calls must first be answered by picking up the receiver on the external phone
or telephone connected to the same line.
Answering Machine mode
Select this mode when an answering machine is connected to the unit and you want the
answering machine to answer all calls. This allows you to receive both voice messages and faxes
while you are out.
Note: If you are using distinctive ringing as described in
Distinctive Ringing
in this
section, you
must set the reception mode to Auto. This is also true if you are using an answering machine with
distinctive ringing. In this case, the answering machine must be connected to a separate wall
jack, not to your machine.
