Getting started
So what’s the big deal, anyway?!?
That may be what you’re wondering, upon seeing the title above. After all, telling
you how to send faxes is one thing, but — as long as the fax machine is running and
has paper installed — why spend time on explaining how to receive faxes?
Well, you have a point. Still, there are just a few little niceties you may find helpful
to know. So …
Different ways to get the job done
Reception modes
Your fax machine has two different reception modes — Tel Ready and Fax Ready —
each of which we’ll explain in a moment — along with giving you an idea of which
one you should use, depending upon your setup.
Answering calls manually — for both reception modes
In either reception mode, you always can answer calls manually if you have an
optional handset installed. Just pick it up, as you would if using a normal phone.
If you hear someone speaking to you, go ahead and
have a normal phone call.
If you hear distinctive fax tones (“beep — beep
— beep — beep”), press
START
and hang up the
optional handset. Your fax machine will begin
receiving a fax.
Note: On an F-150, receiving this way disables
“V.34” mode so that the machine
receives the fax in normal

fashion.

. The monitor function
is only for on-hook dialing. Your fax machine does not have a speakerphone.
