The answering mode determines how your Konica
fax handles incoming fax and voice calls. The
standby display shows the current answering mode.
Answering Mode Options
The answering mode you choose depends on how
you use your fax machine and what telephone
equipment is connected to it. Read through the
mode descriptions below, then follow the instructions to
change to the mode that best fits your needs.
Manual Receive mode [TEL]:
line for both fax and telephone calls and the major-
ity of your incoming calls are telephone calls, then
the TEL answering mode is your best choice.
Each time someone calls, your machine rings like
a telephone—it does not automatically answer.
You can answer from either an external handset or
telephone connected to your Konica Fax. If you
pick up the handset and hear fax tones, press the
Start key to receive the fax. If you do not answer
the phone and someone tries to send you a fax
message, your machine will not accept it.
Auto Receive mode [FAX]:
nected to a telephone line reserved only for fax
communications, use the Auto Receive mode.
Your Konica Fax assumes all incoming calls are
fax messages and automatically receives them.
If you use the same
If your machine is con-
Telephone/Fax Auto Switch mode [T/F]:
coming calls are a mixture of fax and telephone
calls, your best choice is the Telephone/Fax
mode. In this mode, your machine detects whether
the incoming call is a fax or voice call. When the
call is from another fax machine, your machine
switches to fax mode and automatically receives
the message. When the call is a voice call, your
machine rings like a telephone. If you do not an-
swer within 35 seconds, your Konica FAX 9820
switches back to fax mode to allow the calling
party to send a fax manually.
Telephone Answering Device mode [TAD]: Use
this mode if you have connected an answering
machine to your Konica FAX 9820. Like
Telephone/Fax mode, the Telephone Answering
Device mode detects whether an incoming call is
a fax or voice call. If it is a fax call, your machine
receives the fax. If it is a voice call, your machine
rings just as it does in Manual Receive mode. If
no one answers the call, your answering machine
activates, allowing the calling party to leave a
message. If you set the Remote Receive user
function (page 59), the caller can send a fax at
any time during or after the recorded message by
using their keypad to enter the remote receive
number you have programmed. This number
activates fax reception. Add something like this to
your answering machine message: "To send a fax
now, press XX [the programmed number]."
