To use remote telephone mode reception, pick up the receiver on the phone directly connected to the fax machine
and press the * button on the phone twice to signal the fax machine. Hang up the telephone receiver.
Fax/Tel auto switch reception is one of the attended modes of receiving, because it requires user interaction to re-
ceive a voice call. In this mode, your fax machine will automatically switch to fax or voice communication, but you
must pick up the receiver to monitor the voice communication.
Note Due to telecommunications regulations, the Fax/Tel auto switch mode is not used in France or
Germany.
To configure for Fax/Tel auto switch 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 2 (Fax/Tel), do so now. Press the buttons in the sequence shown.

To use Fax/Tel auto switch mode reception: When a call comes in, your fax machine answers and if a fax signal is
received, your machine starts to automatically receive the fax. For a voice call, your fax machine starts “beeping” a
signal through the speaker. To answer, lift the telephone receiver and press the Dial/Space button on the fax machine
before talking.
Note You can set the length of time that the fax machine “beeps” for you to pick up the phone by
changing fax parameter 18. Factory setting is 20 seconds. If you do not answer the phone in the
time specified, the fax machine will return a fax tone to the calling machine, expecting to
communicate with a “silent” fax machine. You can also set the “beep” volume through fax
parameter 10. Fax parameters are presented in chapter 4.
