Your machine answers all calls automatically and
assumes all incoming calls are faxes.
Ideal when you use the same line for fax and
telephone calls but most incoming calls are telephone
calls. Each time you receive a call your machine rings
like a telephone. You can answer using an attached
telephone. If you hear the fax tones, press the Start
button to receive a fax and replace the handset.
In this mode, if you do not answer the phone and
someone tries to send you a fax, your machine will
not answer the call.

If you answer a call on another telephone connected
to the same line (but not connected to your eF@x
2000 TAD socket), you can enter a 2-digit code to tell
your machine to receive an incoming fax. See
'Remote Receive', page 61.
Your machine automatically answers all calls. If the
call is a fax, it is received automatically. If it is a
phone call, your machine will ring like a telephone
and you can pick up the call on an attached phone.
If you do not answer the call the eF@x will switch
back to fax mode so your caller can send a fax.
Select this mode when you want to use an answering
machine connected to your eF@x 2000. When a call
is received, your answering machine takes the call.
If it is a voice call, your machine will play the outgoing
message as normal. If the call turns out to be a fax call,
your eF@x 2000 will automatically start receiving it.
Select MEM if you want to receive faxes directly into
the memory and not immediately printed. You can
then use the Print Operation function (see page 25)
to print out any faxes stored in the memory.
To stop other users from printing out your faxes,
you can protect the memory with a 4-digit password,
see page 63.
Set this mode when your eF@x 2000 is connected to
your computer and you have the MFP software
installed which allows your machine to act as a fax
modem. Incoming fax messages are stored directly
to your computer hard disc and not printed or saved
in the memory by your eF@x 2000.
