Auto Fax/Ans Mach reception is also known as shared reception mode. If you want to receive both voice telephone
calls and fax calls on the same line, or have your fax take fax calls and the answering machine take voice calls, you will
need to set the fax machine for Auto Fax/Ans Mach mode. The answering machine will accept, play and record voice
calls. If a fax call is received, your fax machine receives the fax message.
In this mode, the answering machine will answer all calls. While your outgoing message recorded on the answering
machine is playing, the fax machine is monitoring the line for a fax tone signal. If a fax tone is detected, the fax ma-
chine automatically takes over the call to receive the fax. If a fax tone is not detected, the answering machine accepts
and records the incoming message.
To set the Auto Fax/Ans Mach reception mode, press the buttons in the sequence shown and enter the information as
indicated.

The remote reception feature of your HP FAX-700/750 allows you to still receive a fax call if you’ve picked up the
telephone, attached to the answering machine, before the answering machine starts its outgoing message. In order to
receive the fax calls, you must have enabled Remote Reception (setting 9) by setting it to “Y” and established a recep-
tion code. Then you can accept the fax by dialing the reception code on the phone you’ve picked up.
