LCD How it works When to use it
Fax Only
(automatic receive)
The machine
automatically answers
every call as a fax.
For dedicated fax lines.
Fax/Tel*
(fax and telephone)
(with an external or
extension telephone)
The 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
(pseudo/double ring) for
you to pick up the call.
Use this mode if you expect to receive lots of fax
messages and few telephone calls. You cannot
have an answering machine on the same line, even
if it is on a separate wall jack on the same line. You
cannot use the telephone company’s Voice Mail in
this mode.
External TAD
(with an external
answering device)
The external answering
device (TAD)
automatically answers
every call.
Voice messages are
stored on the external
TAD. Fax messages are
printed.
Use this mode if you have connected an answering
machine on your phone line.
The TAD setting works only with an external
answering machine. Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time
do not work in this setting.
Manual
(manual receive)
(with an external or
extension telephone or
with Distinctive Ring)
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 don’t receive
many fax messages or with Distinctive Ring.
If you answer and hear fax tones, wait until the
machine takes over the call, then hang up.
