Basic Receiving Operations

Choosing the Receive Mode

There are four different receive modes for your FAX/MFC. You may choose the
mode that best suits your needs by pressing Receive Mode repeatedly until the
LCD shows the setting you want to use.
LCD
FAX ONLY
(automatic receive)
FAX/TEL*
(fax/telephone)
TAD:ANSWER
MACH.
(external telephone
answering device)
MANUAL
(manual receive)
*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 set to 4 rings.
How it works
The FAX/MFC
automatically answers
every call as a fax.
The FAX/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.
You control the phone line
and must answer every call
yourself.
When to use it
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.
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.
