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 TAD
answers voice calls and
automatically receives
faxes.
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 socket/phone socket on the
same line. You cannot use the telephone
company's Voice Mail in this mode.
Use this mode if you do not receive many fax
messages, have an external TAD connected to the
machine, or if you use Distinctive Ring.
If you answer and hear fax tones, wait until the
machine takes over the call, then hang up. (See
Fax Detect on page 4-6.)
If you are using a computer modem on the same
line, faxing will not operate correctly.
Use this mode to record voice messages in the
machine's memory. (For details, see TAD mode on
page 7-1.)
