Unattended Modes
The two unattended modes are Fax Only and Auto Fax/Ans Mach. In the Fax Only mode, the fax machine answers all
incoming calls. In the Auto Fax/Ans Mach mode, the fax machine answers a fax call, but switches voice calls to the
answering machine. When you choose the Auto Fax/Ans Mach mode, set the Ans Mach rings equal to the rings that
the answering machine waits before answering a call. Silent detect allows reception of faxes from older fax machines.
Choose Yes if you may receive faxes from older machines.
To set the Fax Only reception mode, press the buttons in the sequence shown and enter the information as indicated.

Attended/Unattended Modes on the HP FAX-900 and FAX-950
Attended Modes
Telephone mode reception is one of the two attended modes of receiving. It requires user interaction to receive a fax or
voice call. In this mode, your fax machine will not automatically answer calls. You must answer the phone and manu-
ally start the fax machine to receive fax calls. Incoming voice calls are treated as normal voice telephone calls. Remote
telephone mode reception is the ability to signal the fax machine, from the phone directly connected to the TEL jack on
the fax machine, to receive an incoming fax document.
When using either mode, make sure the Receive mode button is set to OFF (the lamp is not lit) and you do not have any
document in the automatic document feeder of your fax machine.
To configure for telephone mode reception, make sure the Receive mode button is set to OFF (the lamp is not lit) and
you do not have any document in the automatic document feeder of your fax machine.
If you have not already set fax parameter 15 to option 1 (Tel), do so now. Press the buttons in the sequence shown.
