Answering mode options
The answering mode which is best for you will vary depending on how
you use your fax machine and what external telephone devices are
connected to it. Read through the answering modes listed here, then follow
the instructions below.
Auto Receive Mode [FAX]: If your fax machine is connected to a
telephone line reserved only for fax communications, use the Auto
Receive mode. Your fax machine will assume all incoming calls are fax
messages and automatically receive all incoming fax messages.
Manual Receive Mode [TEL]: If you use the same line for both fax and
telephone calls and the majority of your incoming calls are telephone calls,
then the TEL answering mode is your best choice. Each time someone
calls, your fax machine rings like a telephone. You can answer from either
an external handset or from an external telephone connected to your fax
machine. If you pick up the handset and hear fax machine CNG tones
(normally a short peep every three seconds), press the Start key to receive
the fax. If you do not answer the telephone and someone tries to send you
a fax message, your machine will not accept it.
Note:
Some older types of fax machines do not send CNG tones and the
line may be silent when you answer a call in TEL answering
mode.
If you answer a call using a telephone connected to the same telephone
line, but not connected directly to your fax machine, you can remotely tell
your fax machine to start fax reception by entering a two digit remote
receive number using the telephone keypad. See Remote Receive in
Programming later in this user’s guide.
Telephone/Fax Auto Switch Mode [T/F]: When incoming calls are a
mixture of fax and telephone calls, your best choice is the Telephone/Fax
Auto SW mode. In this mode, your fax machine detects whether the
incoming call is a fax or voice call. When the call is from another fax
machine, your machine will switch to fax mode and receive the message.
When the call is a voice call, your fax machine will ring like a telephone.
If you do not answer, your fax machine will switch back to fax mode to
allow the calling party to manually send a fax.
Note:
Only use this mode if the telephone is located close to your fax
machine. After the initial ring, the telephone falls silent, but the
fax machine continues ringing.
