Different Ways to Receive a Fax
The FAX-L250 provides you with four different modes for receiving faxes. To decide which mode will
best suit your requirements, consider how you want to use the FAX-L250:
¶
Fax/Tel Mode
Use this mode if you will occasionally use the FAX-L250 as a telephone. In this mode, if an incoming
call is a fax, the FAX-L250 then receives fax calls automatically, without ringing; if the call is from a
person, the FAX-L250 rings to alert you to pick up the optional handset or telephone to answer the
call. This mode is economical, in that it allows you to have phone and fax service without the expense
of an additional phone line.
This mode also includes settings that let you control precisely how it handles incoming calls. For details
see page 6-4.
¶
MANUAL MODE
Use this mode if you will frequently use the FAX-L250 as a telephone and want to answer every call
yourself, including fax calls. The FAX-L250 then rings for every call, whether phone or fax, and you
must press the
( START/COPY) button to begin receiving a fax.
¶
FAX ONLY MODE
Use this mode if the FAX-L250 will be connected to a separate telephone line used only for transmitting
faxes. The FAX-L250 then answers all calls, and receives all faxes automatically.
¶
ANS.MACHINE MODE
Use this mode if you plan to connect an answering machine to the FAX-L250 to receive faxes and
phone messages. The FAX-L250 then receives incoming faxes normally, and routes incoming phone calls
to the answering machine.
Once you have decided which mode you want, set the mode as described in ″Setting the Receive Mode″
on page 6-3. You can change the mode at any time.
