Receiving a fax

Choose the correct Answer Mode

The correct Answer mode is determined by the external devices and telephone subscriber
services (Voice Mail, Unique Ring, etc.) you have (or will be using) on the same line as the Océ
machine.
Will you be using a Unique Ring number for receiving faxes?
Océ uses the term "Unique Ring" but different telephone companies may have other names for this service
such as Custom Ringing, RingMaster, Personalized Ring, Teen Ring, Ident-A-Ring, Ident-A-Call,
Date Ident-A-Call, Smart Ring and SimpleBiz Fax & Alternate Number Ringing. (See Unique Ring
on page 56 for instructions on setting up your machine using this feature.)
Will you be using Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Océ machine?
If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Océ machine, there is a strong possibility that
Voice Mail and the Océ machine will conflict with each other when receiving incoming calls. (See Voice
Mail on page 56 for instructions on setting up your machine using this service.)
Will you be using a Telephone Answering Machine on the same telephone line as your Océ
machine?
Your external telephone answering machine (TAM) will automatically answer every call. Voice messages
are stored on the external TAM and fax messages are printed. Choose External TAM as your answer
mode. (See Connecting an external TAM (telephone answering machine) on page 59.)
Will you be using your Océ machine on a dedicated fax line?
Your machine automatically answers every call as a fax. Choose Fax Only as your answer mode. (See
Fax Only on page 51.)
Will you be using your Océ machine on the same line as your telephone?
Do you want to receive voice calls and faxes automatically?
The Fax/Tel answer mode is used when sharing the Océ machine and your telephone on the
same line. Choose Fax/Tel as your answer mode. (See Fax/Tel on page 51.)
Important Note: You can not receive voice messages on either Voice Mail or an answering
machine when choosing the Fax/Tel mode.
Do you expect to receive very few faxes?
Choose Manual as your answer mode. You control the telephone line and must answer every call
yourself. (See Manual on page 51.)
