Use this function if you want to receive fax messages only (no
telephone calls). The machine should be connected on its own
line. The machine automatically answers every call as a fax
call. You cannot receive a voice call but, if you have connected
an External telephone, you can still dial out and make voice
calls. (This setting is recommended if the machine is on its
own dedicated fax line.)
Use this function if you expect to receive many fax messages
and few phone calls. The machine automatically answers
every call. If the call is a fax, it prints the fax. If the call is not
a fax, it signals you with an F/T pseudo-ring, different from the
phone company ringing, to alert you to pick up the call. Lift the
external telephone's handset, and then press Tel to answer. If
you select this setting, you will need to set the Ring Delay and
F/T Ring Time features (on the following pages).
This is the only setting in which you can use an external
answering machine. Your telephone answering device
answers every call. Once the external telephone answering
device (TAD) answers, the machine listens for fax tones. If it
detects fax tones, fax messages are printed.
The TAD setting works only with an external telephone
answering device (TAD). Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time do
not work in this setting.
Use this function if you receive many telephone calls and few
fax messages. You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear
fax tones, wait until the machine takes over the call
automatically, then hang up (see Fax Detect function).
