When Connecting an Answering Machine (Ans/Fax Ready Mode)

When Using as a Telephone Normally (Tel Ready Mode)
When Using the DRD Function (DRD)
There are four fax reception modes: [Fax Ready Mode], [Tel/Fax Ready Mode], [Ans/Fax Ready Mode], and [Tel Ready Mode]. The
reception operation varies depending on the reception mode. When you change the fax reception mode, check the reception behavior. In
reception mode other than [Fax Ready Mode], you must connect a telephone to the machine. A telephone that is connected to the
machine is called an external telephone.
When a fax reception is in progress, the sender's information is displayed on the display screen. Even if the reception is complete, the
[DATA IN MEMORY] indicator remains lit as long as the data is saved in the memory of this machine.
Memo
Change the reception mode in [Admin Setup] > [User Install].
Setting a Reception Mode
If memory overflow occurs during data reception, the reception is cancelled. In such a case, ask the sender to send the fax again.
Fax Ready Mode
This mode is the factory default setting. If [Fax Ready Mode] is set, the machine automatically receives faxes.
If you use the machine only for faxes, this mode is recommended.
When Receiving Calls and Faxes (Tel/Fax Ready Mode)
If [Tel/Fax Ready Mode] is set, the machine automatically determines whether an incoming call is a voice call or fax, allowing you to use
a telephone and fax. To receive calls, you must connect an external telephone to the machine in advance.
Receiving a Fax
Fax reception automatically starts.
Receiving a Call
When receiving a call, the telephone starts ringing. Pick up the handset of the external telephone to answer the call. To receive a fax,
press (START).
Memo
Before connecting an external telephone, check how to connect the telephone to the machine.
Connecting a Telephone Line
If you often receive calls, it is recommended to enable [Tel Priority Mode].
Setting When the Telephone Rings (Telephone Priority Mode)
If the connected telephone is remotely located, you can receive faxes by dialing the remote switchover number. When dialing the
remote switchover number, enter the next digit of the number within 3 seconds of dialing the previous digit.
Instructing a Fax Reception from a Telephone Remotely (Remote Switchover Number)
The external telephone may not ring properly depending on the type of your telephone.
The external telephone may ring before automatically determining whether an incoming call is a voice call or fax. To have the
external telephone not to ring before the auto determination, set [Ring Response] to [OFF].
Setting the Waiting Time from When an Incoming Call Arrives to When Reception Starts (Response Waiting Time)
When Connecting an Answering Machine (Ans/Fax Ready Mode)
If [Ans/Fax Ready Mode] is set, you can use the answering machine function of the external telephone and fax. Connect an external
telephone with the answering machine function equipped in advance.
