Using receive modes

Some receive modes answer automatically
(Fax and Fax/Tel). You may want to
change the Ring Delay before using these
modes (see Ring Delay on page 43).

Fax Only

Fax mode will automatically answer every
call as a fax.

Fax/Tel

Fax/Tel mode helps you 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.
(Also see F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only)
on page 43 and Ring Delay on page 43.)
