There are four different Receive Modes for the fax machine. You can
choose the mode that best suits your needs.

(fax and telephone)
TAD:ANSWER MACH.
(with an External
Answering Machine)
(FAX-T94 only)
MANUAL
(manual receive)
TAD:MSG MGR

* 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 fax machine
automatically answers
every call as a fax.
The fax machine 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.
The external answering
device (TAD)
automatically answers
every call.
Voice messages are
stored on the external
TAD. Fax messages are
printed.
You control the phone
line and must answer
every call yourself.
The fax machine
automatically answers
every call. The
messages are stored in
order on a first come first
served basis.
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 on the same line.
You cannot use the telephone company's Voice
Mail in this mode.
Use this mode if you have an external answering
machine on your phone line.
The TAD setting works only with an external
answering machine. Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time
do not work in this setting.
Use this mode when you are using a computer
modem on the same line or if you don't receive
many fax messages or with Distinctive Ring.
If you hear fax tones, wait until the machine takes
over the call, then hang up. (See Fax Detect on
page 5-7.)
Use this mode to record voice or fax messages into
the machine's memory. (See Message Manager on
page 9-1.)
