How it works
You control the
phone line and must
answer every call
yourself.
The MFC
automatically
answers every call as
a fax.
The MFC 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 (double
ring) for you to pick
up the call.
The external TAD
automatically
answers every call.
Voice messages are
stored on the external
TAD. Fax messages
are printed.
When to use it
Use this mode when
you are using a
computer modem on
the same line or if
you receive very few
fax messages. You
can also use this
mode with
Distinctive Ring.
For dedicated fax
lines. You cannot
receive a voice call
but you can call out.
You cannot have an
answering machine
on the same line,
even if it is on a
separate jack on the
same line. You
cannot use the
telephone company's
Voice Mail in this
mode.
Use this mode if you
have an answering
machine on your
phone line.
