Choosing the correct Receive Mode
The correct Receive mode is determined by the external devices and telephone subscriber services (Voicemail,
Distinctive Ring, etc.) you have (or will be using) on the same line as the cx2100.
For details, see Using receive modes in Chapter 6 of the User's Guide.
Will you be using a Distinctive Ring number for receiving faxes?
Océ uses the term "Distinctive Ring" but other telephone companies have other names for this service such as
Custom Ringing, RingMaster, Personalized Ring, Teen Ring, Ident-A-Call, and Smart Ring. See Distinctive Ring
in Chapter 7 of the User's Guide for instruction on setting up your machine using this feature.
Will you be using Voicemail on the same telephone line as your cx2100?
If you have Voicemail on the same telephone line as your cx2100, there is a strong possibility that Voice mail
and the cx2100 will conflict with each other when receiving incoming calls. See Voice Mail in Chapter 7 of the
User's Guide for instructions on setting up your machine using this service.
Will you be using a Telephone Answering Device on the same telephone line as your
cx2100?
Your external telephone answering device (TAD) will automatically answer every call. Voice messages are
stored on the external TAD and fax messages are printed. Choose
External TAD
as your receive mode. See
the instructions on the next page.
Will you be using your cx2100 on a dedicated fax line?
Your machine automatically answers every call as a fax. Choose
Fax Only
as your receive mode. See the
instructions on the next page.
Will you be using your cx2100 on the same line as your telephone?
Do you want to receive voice calls and faxes automatically
The
Fax/Tel
receive mode is used when sharing the cx2100 and your telephone on the same line. Choose
Fax/Tel
as your receive mode. See the instructions on the next page.
Important Note:
You can not receive voice messages on either Voicemail or an answering machine when
choosing the
Fax/Tel
mode.
Do you expect to receive very few faxes?
Choose
Manual
as your receive mode. You control the phone line and must answer every call yourself. See the
instructions on the next page.
