Basic Receiving Operations
Selecting Receive Mode
There are four different receive modes for your machine. You may choose the
mode that best suits your needs by pressing the Mode button repeatedly until
you have changed the FAX and FAX/TEL lights to the setting you want to use.
NOTE: The lighted indicators mean = not selected = is selected and lit.
*In FAX/TEL mode you must set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time. If you have
extension phones on the line, set the Ring Delay to 4 rings.
Mode Light How it works When to use it
1. MANUAL
(manual
receive)
You control the phone
line and must answer
every call yourself.
Use this mode when
you are using a
computer modem on
the same line or if you
receive very few fax
messages. You can also
use this mode with
Distinctive Ring.
2. FAX
(automatic
receive)
The machine
automatically answers
every call as a fax.
For dedicated fax lines.
You cannot receive a
voice call but you can
call out.
3. FAX/TEL*
(fax and
telephone)
Machine controls the
line and automatically
answers every call. If
the call is a fax it will
receive the fax. If the
call is not a fax it will
ring (double-ring) for
you to pick up the call.
You cannot have an
answering machine on
the same line, even if it
is on a separate jack on
the same line. You
cannot use the
telephone company’s
Voice Mail in this
mode.
4. TAD
(External
Telephone
Answering
Device)
The external TAD
automatically answers
every call. Voice
messages are stored on
the external TAD. Fax
messages are printed.
Use this mode if you
have an answering
machine on your phone
line.
