Basic Receiving Operations

This fax machine was designed to accomodate different applications. There are four
receiving modes the FAX/MFC can operate in. Please choose one the most
appropriate for you.

Select Answer Mode

MANUAL—You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear fax tones, press Start to
begin receiving the fax, then hang up. You can use this mode with Distinctive Ringing.
(See Distinctive Ringing (Telstra™ Fax Stream Duet®), page 5-10.) Use this mode
for Fax Stream Duet
FAX ONLY—The FAX/MFC automatically answers every call as a fax call. You
cannot receive a voice call, but you can dial out and make a voice call.
FAX/TEL—The FAX/MFC 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 a F/T pseudo-ring, different
from the phone company ringing, to alert you to pick up the call. If you select this
setting, you'll need to set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time features (on the following
pages). (See For F/T (FAX/TEL) Mode Only, page 5-6.) This mode is not
recommended if extensions are in use.
TAD (For FAX-645 only)—This is the only setting in which you can use an external
answering machine. Your telephone answering device is connected to your FAX, and
answers every call. Once the TAD answers, the FAX listens for fax tones. If it detects
fax tones, it prints the fax.
The TAD setting works only with an external telephone answering device (TAD); it
does not work with telephone company voice mail. Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time
do not work in this setting.
MSG CTR (For FAX-685MC and MFC-960MC only)—The FAX/MFC provides
you with a built-in digital Message Centre for fax and voice. When you set the
machine to answer calls, it will record up to 15 minutes of messages. You will need to
record a MSG CTR OGM before this feature is available to you. For more information
about Message Centre (MSG CTR) operation, please see Chapter 9.
If you have not recorded the Outgoing Message for Message Centre mode, your FAX/
MFC does not receive the voice call. (See chapter 9).
