Using receive modes

Some receive modes answer faxes
automatically (Fax Only and Fax/Tel).
You may want to change the Ring Delay
before using these modes. (See Ring Delay
uu page 28.)

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 recognising
whether they are fax or voice calls and
dealing with them in one of the following
ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.

to pick up the line. The F/T ring is a fast
double ring made by your machine.
Use this mode if you receive few voice calls.
