This section shows how to receive faxes and
control the functions that affect the way you
receive faxes.
Manual vs.
Automatic Fax
Machines
Facsimile machines come in two basic types:
Manual fax machines require the sender to dial
the number, listen for a fax tone from the
receiving machine (or tell the receiving operator
to press the [START] key on their machine), and
then press [START/COPY] to send.
Automatic fax machines detect the presence of
the receiving machine after it answers, and
automatically send a document with no operator
intervention.
With the handset in the cradle using memory dialing
(see page
20)
your unit sends a document as an
automatic fax machine.
With the handset up, it sends a document as a
manual fax machine.
Your facsimile machine can receive documents
from either type of machine.
Choosing a Mode
Before you begin to receive faxes, select the proper
reception mode for the way you intend to use the
machine.
In TEL mode, you can use your fax machine as you
would use any regular telephone. Use this mode if
you typically use the unit to receive both voice calls
and faxes.
In AUTO RECEIVE MODE, your unit automatically
picks up to receive a fax after several rings. The
number of rings can be set through the User
Options (see page 25). Use this mode if you
typically leave your fax machine unattended.
In ANS/FAX MODE, the unit can share the same
telephone line with an answering machine
Notes:
D
Your unit is preset to the TEL MODE when it
comes out.
B
Once you choose a receiving mode,the mode will
not be changed even though you turn the unit off.
The unit restores the mode when you turn on its
power.
Receiving in TEL Mode
1.
To select the TEL (Manual) mode, press [AUTO
RECEIVE] repeatedly until the AUTO RECEIVE
indicator is off.
2. When the phone rings, pick up the handset.
3. When you hear a fax tone, press [START/COPY]
l When the other party is calling from a manual
fax machine, instruct him to press the
[START] key on their machine. When you
hear a fax tone, press your [START/COPY]
and hang up. The unit will receive the fax.

Receiving in AUTO RCV Mode
1.
2.
To select the AUTO RCV mode, press [AUTO
RECEIVE] repeatedly until the indicator over the
key lights.
When you get a call, the unit automatically
receives the document.
When a call is received from a manual fax
machine, your unit answers the call after
several rings which you set through the User
Options, and sounds a fax tone to the caller.
The caller hears the tone, and should know to
press the [START] key on their machine.
Then your unit receives the fax.
When a call is received from an automatic fax
machine, your unit automatically detects the
sending fax machine and receives the fax
automatically.
Notes:
l If you pick up the handset before your unit
answers, the unit switches back to TEL mode.
l Even when a fax tone is on the line, the unit might
fail to detect it and doesn’t receive the fax
because of the line instability.
