Receiving documents in Fax Only Mode _______
When the fax is set up for a dedicated line, it automatically receives documents
whenever a call comes over the fax line.
The fax cannot receive automatically if you are making copies, printing reports, or
registering information. See p. 72.
The fax assumes all incoming calls are from another fax machine sending a
document. It receives the documents automatically.
Receiving documents in Fax/Tel Mode _________
You can set the fax to monitor all incoming calls over the fax/telephone line. When the fax
receives an incoming call, it checks to see if the call is from another fax machine trying to
send a document or from someone wanting to talk to you. You need to have the optional
handset or an extension phone connected to your fax for this mode. See pp. 14 and 15.
The fax cannot receive automatically if you are making copies, printing reports, or

When the fax receives a call, it checks to see whether the call is from another fax
machine or from a telephone.
❚ If the INCOMING RING function is set to OFF, the fax does not ring (even if the
optional handset or an extension phone is connected) when it receives a call from
another fax machine that is trying to send a document. This is so that you are not
disturbed when your fax is communicating with another fax machine. The fax
automatically receives the document.
❚ In Fax Only Mode or Fax/Tel Mode, if you want the optional handset or extension
phone to ring to make sure that someone is sending you a document, you need to set
INCOMING RING to ON and connect the optional handset or an extension phone.
❚ If the call is from a person, the fax rings to alert you to pick up the optional handset
or extension phone.
❚ If you do not pick up the handset within 22 seconds, the fax stops ringing. It checks
again to make sure the call is not from a fax machine and then hangs up.
