Receiving Faxes

Reception Mode

Your fax machine has four different reception modes, each of which we'll explain
in a moment ---- along with giving you an idea of which one you should use,
depending upon your set-up.
Answering calls manually ---- for all reception modes
In any reception mode, you can always answer calls manually.
Just pick up the fax handset.
If you hear someone speaking to you ...
... go ahead and have a normal phone call.
If you hear distinctive fax tones ...
... press start and hang up the
handset.
Your fax machine will begin receiving
fax.
Note: Do not attempt to answer a call by pressing monitor/call. The monitor
function is only on-hook dialing. Your fax machine does not have a
speaker phone.

Use it if: • You intend to use the same line for both fax and phone calls
and
• You're using, on that line, at least one other phone which is not
connected to your fax machine.

answer each call manually using the fax's telephone handset or
another telephone in your home or office.
