*In FAX/TEL mode you must set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time. If you have
extension phones on the line, keep the Ring Delay to 4 rings.
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 wall jack on the
same line.
You cannot use the
telephone company's
Voice Mail in this mode.
Use this mode if you have
an external answering
machine on your phone
line.
