RECEIVING FAXES AND OTHER CALLS
BASIC SETUP TO RECEIVE FAXES
How it works
You control the phone line
and must answer every
call yourself.
The fax machine
automatically answers
every call as a fax.
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 for you to
pick up the call.
The answering machine
controls the phone line
and answers every call.
As soon as the TAD
answers, the fax machine
listens for fax tones. If it
hears them it will take
over the call and receive
the fax message.
