For information on setting the Answer Mode, see set the answer mode on
page 44. For information on setting the number of Rings to Answer, see set
the number of rings before answering on page 47.

– If you are currently on the phone with the sender using the attached
handset, instruct them to press Start on their fax machine first. Once
