Selecting The Reception Mode - Sharp FO-2550 Operation Manual

9. Selecting the Reception Mode

The Sharp MFP has four modes for receiving incoming calls and faxes:
TEL mode:
This is the most convenient mode for receiving phone calls. You can
also receive faxes; however, all calls must first be answered by picking
up the fax's handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.
FAX mode:
Select this mode when you only want to receive faxes on your line.
The fax will automatically answer all calls and receive incoming faxes.
TEL/FAX mode:
This mode is convenient for receiving both faxes and voice calls.
When a call comes in, the fax will detect whether it is a voice call
(including manually dialled fax transmissions), or an automatically
dialled fax. If it is a voice call, the fax will make a special ringing
sound to alert you to answer. If it is an automatically dialled fax
transmission, reception will begin automatically.
ANS. mode:
Select this mode when an answering machine is connected as
explained in Connecting an Answering Machine in Chapter 6 of your
online Operation Guide, and you want the answering machine to
answer all calls. This allows you to receive both voice messages and
faxes while you are out.
