Setup Receive
Basic receiving operations
Choosing the Receive Mode
There are four different Receive Modes for your MFC. You can
choose the mode that best suits your needs by pressing Receive
Mode repeatedly.
* In FAX/TEL mode you must set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time.
If you have extension phones on the line, keep the Ring Delay set to
4 rings.
LCD How it works When to use it
FAX ONLY
(automatic receive)
The MFC
automatically
answers every call as
a fax.
For dedicated fax lines.
FAX/TEL
*
(fax and telephone)
(with an External or
Extension
Telephone)
The MFC 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
(phone socket) on the same line. You cannot
use the telephone company’s Voice Mail in
this mode.
EXTERNAL TAD
(with an External
Answering
Machine)
The external
answering machine
(TAD) automatically
answers every call.
Voice messages are
stored on the external
TAD. Fax messages
are printed.
Use this mode if you have an external
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)
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 [BP1] fax messages.
If you hear fax tones, wait until the machine
takes over the call, then hang up. (See Easy
Receive on page 5-4.)
