The All-In-One has four receiving modes
xý In FAX mode, the All-In-One answers an
incoming call and immediately goes into
receive mode.
xý In ANS/FAX mode, the answering machine
answers the incoming call and the caller can
leave a message on the answering machine. If
the All-In-One senses a fax tone on the line, the
call automatically switches over to the All-In-
One. To use the ANS/FAX, you have to attach
an answering machine to the EXT socket on the
All-In-One. You also need to set the machine to
answer after one ring.

OFF. You can receive a fax by picking up the
handset and pressing *9* (star-nine-star) or
press the button twice on the control
panel.

mode, the All-In-One will answer a call on the
line that has a specific ring pattern. It then
immediately goes into receive mode, waiting
for the fax to be sent. Use the DRPD setup to
teach the All-In-One the ring pattern it should
respond to. DRPD service must be obtained
from your local telephone company.
