Choosing the Receive Mode

There are four different Receive Modes for your MFC. You can
choose the mode that best suits your needs. (See TAD (Telephone
Answering Device) on page 9-1 to set up the TAD:MSG MGR mode.)

FAX ONLY
(automatic 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 MFC automatically
answers every call as a
fax.
The 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
(pseudo/double ring) for
you to pick up the call.
You control the phone
line and must answer
every call yourself.
The built-in digital TAD
answers voice calls. It
will record up to 99 voice
messages that are a
maximum of 3 minutes
each.
When to use it
For dedicated fax lines.
Use this mode if you expect to receive lots of fax
messages and few telephone calls. You cannot
have an answering machine on the same line, even
if it is on a separate wall socket (phone socket) on
the same line. You cannot use the telephone
company's Voice Mail in this mode.
Use this mode when you are using a computer
modem on the same line or if you don't receive
many fax messages.
If you hear fax tones, wait until the machine takes
over the call, then hang up the external phone or
press Speaker Phone. (See Fax Detect on page
5-6.)
—OR—
Use this mode if an external TAD is connected on
the same line and you want to store voice
messages on the external answering machine.
Use this mode to record voice messages in the
MFC's memory. (See TAD mode on page 9-1.)
