Receiving faxes

So what's the big deal anyway?!?

That may be what you're wondering, upon seeing the title above. After all,
telling you how to send faxes is one thing, but — as long as the fax
machine is running and has paper installed — why spend time on
explaining how to receive faxes?
Well, you have a point. Still, there are just a few little niceties you may
find helpful to know. So...

Different ways to get the job done

Reception modes

Your fax machine has two different reception modes — Tel Ready and Fax
Ready — each of which we'll explain in a moment — along with giving
you an idea of which one you should use, depending upon your setup.
Answering calls manually — for both reception modes
In either reception mode, you can always answer calls manually with the
handset. Just pick it up, as you would if using a normal phone.
If you hear distinctive fax tones
("beep—beep—beep— beep") press
START and hang up the optional
handset. Your fax machine will
begin receiving a fax.
Note: Don't try to answer a call by pressing MONITOR/CALL. The
monitor function is only for on-hook dialing. Your fax machine
does not have a speakerphone.
If you hear someone speaking to you...
...go ahead and have a normal phone call.
