Receiving Manually In The Tel Mode; Receiving Automatically In The Ans/Fax Mode - Dell 1600n User Manual

Receiving Automatically in the Fax Mode
Your machine is preset to the fax mode at the factory.
When you receive a fax, the machine answers the call on a specified number of rings and
automatically receives the fax.
To change the number of rings, see "Available Fax Setup Options" on page 116.
If you want to adjust the ringer volume, see "Setting Sounds" on page 114.

Receiving Manually in the Tel Mode

You can receive a fax by picking up the handset of the extension phone and then pressing
the remote receive code (see page 116), or press <On Hook Dial> (you can hear voice or
fax tone from the remote machine) and then pressing <Send Fax> on the operator panel
of your machine.
The machine begins receiving a fax and returns to Standby mode when the reception is
completed.

Receiving Automatically in the Ans/Fax Mode

For this mode, if an answering machine is used, you must attach an answering machine to
the Phone Jack ( ) on the back of your printer.
If the caller leaves a message, the answering machine stores the message as it would
normally. If your printer hears a fax tone on the line, it automatically starts to receive fax.

off, or no answering machine is connected to your printer, your printer will automatically go into
Fax mode after a predefined number of rings.
NOTE: If your answering machine has a 'user-selectable ring counter', set the printer to answer
incoming calls within 1 ring.
NOTE: If you are in Tel mode (manual reception) when the answering machine is connected to
your printer, you must switch off the answering machine, or the outgoing message from the
answering machine will interrupt your phone conversation.
