FAX ONLY
(automatic receive)
The fax machine
automatically answers
every call as a fax.
For dedicated fax lines.
FAX/TEL*
(fax and telephone)
The fax 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 socket on the same line.
You cannot use the telephone company’s Voice
Mail in this mode.
MANUAL

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 hear fax tones, wait until the machine takes
over the call, then hang up. (See Fax Detect on
page 5-5.)

automatically answers
every call. The
messages are stored in
order on a first come first
served basis.
