Use this function if you want to receive fax messages only (no
telephone calls). The machine should be connected on its own
line. The machine automatically answers every call as a fax
call. You cannot receive a voice call, but, if you have
connected an External telephone, you can still dial out and
make voice calls. (This setting is recommended if the machine
is on its own dedicated line.)
Use this function if you expect to receive many fax messages
and few phone calls. The machine automatically answers
every call. If the call is a fax, it prints the fax. If the call is not
a fax, it signals you with an F/T pseudo-ring, different from the
phone company ringing, to alert you to pick up the call. If you
select this setting, you will need to set the Ring Delay and F/T
Ring Time features (on the following pages).
This is the only setting in which you can use an external
answering machine. Your telephone answering device is
connected to the machine, and answers every call. Once the
external telephone answering device (TAD) answers, the
machine listens for fax tones. If it detects fax tones, fax
messages are printed.
The TAD setting works only with an external telephone
answering device (TAD). Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time do
not work in this setting.
Use this function if you receive many telephone calls and few
fax messages. You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear
fax tones, wait until the machine takes over the call
automatically, then hang up (see Fax Detect function).
