TAD Reception
This reception mode is convenient for using a separately
purchased telephone with answering machine capabilities
together with this fax. If an incoming call is from a fax machine,
fax reception will begin automatically. If the call is from a
telephone, the functions of the answering machine will engage,
so, even if you cannot answer, the caller will be able to leave a
message.
* TAD Reception is only possible if a separately purchased
telephone with answering machine capabilities is connected
to this fax machine.
* Refer to the Instruction Manual for the telephone in use for
details on recording and listening to messages, etc.
* BE SURE that the number of times your answering machine
is set to ring is LESS than the number of times the fax is set
to ring.
* If you have selected TAD Reception as the current recep-
tion mode, MAKE SURE that, in the first minute after the
telephone answers the incoming call, there are no silent
pauses of 9 seconds or more [6 seconds or more for metric
versions] in either the message you record or the message
you receive. If there is such a pause, the silence detection
function of this fax will be activated and the fax machine will
switch to fax reception.
● Preparation
* Make sure that “Answering Machine” is displayed on the basic fax
screen. If it is not, touch the reception mode select key and then
touch the “Answering Machine” key.

ringing, the fax will deal with the call in the same manner as a
