Using Receive Modes

Some Receive Modes answer automatically
(Fax Only and Fax/Tel). You may want to
change the Ring Delay before using these
modes. (Ring Delay uu page 33)

Fax Only

Fax Only mode will automatically answer
every call as a fax call.

Fax/Tel

Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically
manage incoming calls, by recognising
whether they are fax or voice calls and
dealing with them in one of the following
ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.
 Voice calls will start the F/T Ring to tell you
to pick up the line. The F/T Ring is a fast
double-ring made by your machine.
