How it works
The machine
automatically answers
every call as a fax.
The machine controls the
line and automatically
answers every call. If the
call is a fax it will receive
the fax. If the call is not a
fax it will ring
(pseudo/double ring) for
you to pick up the call.
You control the phone
line and must answer
every call yourself.
The built-in digital
Message Center
answers voice calls. It
will record up to 99 voice
messages. Each
messages can be up to
maximum of 3
minutes.The total
recording time will vary
depending on the
memory available.
When to use it
For dedicated fax lines.
Use this mode if you expect to receive lots of fax
messages and few telephone calls. You cannot
have an answering machine on the same line, even
if it is on a separate wall jack (phone socket) on the
same line. You cannot use the telephone
company's Voice Mail in this mode.
Use this mode when you are using a computer
modem on the same line or if you don't receive
many fax messages or with Distinctive Ring.
If you answer and hear fax tones, wait until the
machine takes over the call, then hang up. (See
Easy Receive (FAX-1920CN only) on page 5-9.)
—OR—
Use this mode if an external phone or an external
TAD is connected on the same line. Make sure
Easy Receive is set to ON. (See Easy Receive
(FAX-1920CN only) on page 5-9.)
Use this mode to record voice messages in the
machine's memory. (See Message Center mode
on page 9-1.)
