Some receive modes answer automatically (Fax Only Mode and Fax/Tel Mode). You may want to change the
Ring Delay before using these modes.
Fax Only Mode
([Fax] or [Fax Only] in the machine's menu)
Fax Only Mode automatically answers every call as a fax.

Fax/Tel Mode helps you manage incoming calls, by recognizing whether they are fax or voice calls and
handling them in the following ways:
• Faxes will be received automatically.

made by your machine.

Manual Mode turns off all automatic answering operations unless you are using the Distinctive Ring Receive
feature.
