•
TAM You must have an answering machine attached to the EXT line socket
mode located on the bottom of your HP Fax.
•
In Ready mode, TAM appears in the right hand corner of the
display.
•
When a call comes in, the answering machine answers and listens.
If it detects fax tones, it receives the fax; otherwise, it records the
caller's message.
•
If you have set your machine to TAM Mode and your answering
machine is switched off or the answering machine is not connected
directly to your fax machine, the machine will automatically attempt
to receive a fax after several rings.
•
If your answering machine allows you to set the number of rings
before it answers the telephone, set the answering machine to
answer an incoming call in less than 4 rings.
•
When your answering machine answers an incoming call, it
records a fax tone until it realizes a fax is coming through. Due to
this, your answering machine may tell you a voice message has
been left, even when it is actually a fax.
• •
TEL In Ready mode, TEL appears in the right hand corner of the
mode display.
•
Automatic fax reception is turned off. You can receive a fax only by
lifting the handset and pressing Start/Enter.
