Select Receive Mode
There are four different receive modes for the machine. You may choose the mode
that best suits your needs by pressing the Mode key repeatedly until you have
changed the Fax and F/T lights to the setting you want to use.
You will need to connect an external telephone to select Fax/Tel (F/T) or Manual
Mode or an external TAD to select TAD Mode.

2. FAX/TEL (F/T)
(with an External
Telephone)
3. TAD

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.

Telephone)
For
means light on.)
Use this function if you want to receive fax messages only (no
Fax
telephone calls). The machine should be connected on its own
line. The machine automatically answers every call as a fax
TAD
call. You cannot receive a voice call, but, if you have
F/T
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 line.)
Use this function if you expect to receive many fax messages
Fax
and few phone calls. The machine automatically answers
TAD
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
F/T
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
Fax
answering machine. Your telephone answering device
answers every call. Once the external telephone answering
TAD
device (TAD) answers, the machine listens for fax tones. If it
F/T
detects fax tones, fax messages are printed. (See Connecting
an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD), page 6.)
Use this function if you receive many telephone calls and few
Fax
fax messages. You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear
TAD
fax tones, wait until the machine takes over the call
automatically, then hang up (see Fax Detect function).
