Unattended Modes
Fax mode reception is one of the two unattended modes of receiving. In this mode, all incoming calls are treated as
fax calls. For voice calls, the calling party will hear the fax signal from your machine, indicating that they can send a
fax to you. When a fax call is received, your fax machine answers and tries to detect the fax signal. If a fax signal is
detected, it sends a signal to the calling fax machine, indicating that it is ready to receive. The fax is then sent and your
machine starts to automatically receive the fax.
To use fax mode reception, make sure the Receive mode button is set to ON (the lamp is lit) and you do not have any
document in the automatic document feeder of your fax machine.
Fax mode reception is the factory setting at shipment. If the parameter setting was changed and you want to use Fax
mode reception, you need to set fax parameter 16 to option 1 (Fax). Press the buttons in the sequence shown.
