Different ways to get the job done
Reception modes
Your fax machine has four different reception modes — Tel Ready, Fax Ready,
Tel/Fax Ready and Ans/Fax Ready — each of which we’ll explain in a moment.
We’ll also give you an idea of which one you should use, depending upon your setup.
Answering calls manually — for all reception modes
In any reception mode, you always can answer calls manually. Just pick your
machine’s handset.
If you hear someone speaking to you, go ahead and
have a normal phone call.
If you hear fax tones (“beep — beep — beep —
beep”), press
START
and hang up the handset.
Your fax machine will begin receiving a fax.
Note: Don’t try to answer a call by pressing
MONITOR
/
CALL
. The monitor function is
only for on-hook dialing. Your fax
machine does not have a speakerphone.
Tel Ready mode
Use it if: • You intend to use the same line for both fax and phone calls
. . . and . . .
• You are using, on that line, at least one other phone which is not
connected to your fax machine.
In this mode: Your fax machine never answers calls automatically; you must
answer each call as described in “Answering calls manually — for
all reception modes” (left column).
To select Tel Ready:
Press
RECEIVE
repeatedly until the
TEL
light comes on.
Fax Ready mode
Use it if: You have your fax machine installed on a “dedicated” line (one it
doesn’t share with a second phone).
In this mode: Your fax machine answers each incoming call after a certain num-
ber of rings (see page 2.4) and attempts fax reception.
To select Fax Ready:
Press
RECEIVE
repeatedly until neither
TEL
,

/

nor

light is glowing.
