Different Ways to Receive a Fax
The MultiPASS provides you with several modes for receiving faxes. To decide which mode will
best suit your requirements, consider how you want to use the MultiPASS.
I
Fax/Tel Mode
Use this mode if you will occasionally use the MultiPASS as a telephone. In this mode, if an
incoming call is from a fax machine, the MultiPASS receives the faxes automatically, without
ringing; if the call is from a person, the MultiPASS rings to alert you to pick up the telephone
(connected to your unit) to answer the call. This mode is economical, in that it allows you to
have phone and fax service without the expense of an additional phone line.
This mode also includes settings that let you control precisely how it handles incoming calls.
To adjust these via the operation panel refer to the instructions later in this chapter (see
5-7). You can also adjust these settings from the MultiPASS Desktop Manager (see MultiPASS
Desktop Manager Software Guide).

Use this mode if you will frequently use the MultiPASS as a telephone and want to answer
every call yourself, including fax calls. The MultiPASS then rings for every call, whether phone
or fax, and you must press the
I
FAX ONLY MODE
Use this mode if the MultiPASS will be connected to a separate telephone line used only for
faxing. The MultiPASS then answers all calls, and receives all faxes automatically.
