Using receive modes

Some receive modes answer automatically
(Fax Only and Fax/Tel). You may want to
change the Ring Delay before using these
modes. (See Ring Delay on page 35.)

Fax Only

Fax Only mode will automatically answer
every call as a fax.

Fax/Tel

Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically
manage incoming calls, by recognizing
whether they are fax or voice calls and
handling them in one of the following ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.
 Voice calls will start the F/T ring to tell you
to pick up the line. The F/T ring is a fast
doublering made by your machine.
(Also see F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only)
on page 35 and Ring Delay on page 35.)
