2000 answers calls after one ring and checks
for a fax signal. If it is not a fax call, the caller
is put on hold, the phone rings and the display
shows LIFT HANDSET to indicate you should
answer the call manually. If you do not lift the
handset before the ringing stops, your Image
2000 will assume it is a fax call and prepare to
receive a fax. To change the number of rings
before the call is answered, see page 50.
ANS/FAX
In order for the ANS/FAX mode to work, your
Image 2000 must be connected to an answering
machine - via the socket located just above the line
cord socket on the back of the base unit.
In ANS/FAX mode your Image 2000 can
operate with an answering machine. This
means that you can receive voice messages
and faxes.
All calls are answered automatically by the
answering machine and your outgoing
message is played. Callers can leave a

message. If the Image 2000 detects a fax signal
while the answer machine is operating, it will
automatically take control of the call and
receive the fax.
PC FAX
will receive and send faxes to a connected PC
with the fax application software installed. If
your PC is switched off, or the fax application
isn't running, incoming faxes will be received
on your Image 2000 after 8 rings, as if it was in
AUTOFAX mode. You can send faxes from the
PC with the Image 2000 in any receive mode.
Faxes can always be sent directly from your
Image 2000, even when in PC FAX mode.
