Receive Mode Settings
Select Receive Mode
There are four different receive modes for the machine. You may choose the mode
that best suits your needs by pressing Receive Mode repeatedly until the screen
displays the setting you want to use.
You will need to connect an external telephone to select Fax/Tel (F/T) or Manual
Mode.
Receive Mode
1. FAX ONLY
2. FAX/TEL (F/T)
(with an External Telephone)
3. TAD:ANSWER MACH.
(with an External Answering
Machine)
The TAD setting works only with an external telephone answering device (TAD). Ring Delay
and F/T Ring Time do not work in this setting.
4. MANUAL
(with an External Telephone)
For
Use this function if you want to receive fax messages only (no
telephone calls). The machine should be connected on its own
line. The machine automatically answers every call as a fax
call. You cannot receive a voice call, but, if you have
connected an External telephone, you can still dial out and
make voice calls. (This setting is recommended if the machine
is on its own dedicated line.)
Use this function if you expect to receive many fax messages
and few phone calls. The machine automatically answers
every call. If the call is a fax, it prints the fax. If the call is not
a fax, it signals you with an F/T pseudo-ring, different from the
phone company ringing, to alert you to pick up the call. If you
select this setting, you will need to set the Ring Delay and F/T
Ring Time features (on the following pages).
This is the only setting in which you can use an external
answering machine. Your telephone answering device
answers every call. Once the external telephone answering
device (TAD) answers, the machine listens for fax tones. If it
detects fax tones, fax messages are printed.
Use this function if you receive many telephone calls and few
fax messages. You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear
fax tones, wait until the machine takes over the call
automatically, then hang up (see Fax Detect function).
