Tel/Fax Ready mode
Use it if: You use your machine not only as a fax but also as a telephone.
In this mode: Your fax machine answers each incoming call after a certain num-
ber of rings (see page 2.4) and if you receive a voice call, alerts you
with a special ring.
The Tel/Fax Ready reception mode is a mix between the Tel Ready and Fax ready
modes.
To select Fax Ready:
Press
RECEIVE
repeatedly until

light comes on.
Fax primary mode in Tel/Fax Ready mode
Use the fax primary mode if you want your fax machine to:
• Answer incoming call without ringing. (However, it beeps at the end of reception.
If you want to mute this beeping, use the silent mode, see page 2.5).
. . . but also . . .
• Alert you when a regular voice call comes in.
If a voice call comes in, your machine detects it and sounds a special ring for about
30 seconds. If you hear it, you will know you should answer.
To make your fax operate this way:
1
Set your fax machine for Tel/Fax Ready, as described above.

What if you answer a fax call?
With your fax machine in Tel/Fax Ready mode, you can easily use your fax machine
on the same line as other telephone(s) already in your home or office.
Now, let’s deal with the two possible ways your phone(s) and your fax can live hap-
pily together on one line:
• A phone connected directly (physically) to your fax machine (see page 1.11).
• A phone, connected elsewhere in your home or office.
Using a phone connected to your fax machine
If you answer a connected phone and hear fax tones, simply press
START
and hang
up the handset. Your fax machine will receive the fax call.
Using a phone not connected to your fax machine
If you have another telephone connected to the same phone line as your fax
machine, but not connected directly to your fax machine, you can still receive an
incoming fax call using that phone. Here’s what to do if you answer that second
phone and hear fax tones:
1
Don’t hang up the line! Instead:
• Put the telephone handset down without hanging it up
. . . or . . .
• If the telephone has a “hold” feature, put the phone on hold and then hang
up the handset.

Go to your fax machine.
