Receiving Faxes
Reception Mode
Your fax machine has four different reception modes, each of which we’ll explain
in a moment ---- along with giving you an idea of which one you should use,
depending upon your set-up.
Answering calls manually ---- for all reception modes
In any reception mode, you can always answer calls manually.
Just pick up the fax handset.
If you hear someone speaking to you …
… go ahead and have a normal phone call.
If you hear distinctive fax tones …
… press
start
and hang up the
handset.
Your fax machine will begin receiving
fax.
Note:
Do not attempt to answer a call by pressing
monitor/call
. The monitor
function is only on-hook dialing. Your fax machine does not have a
speaker phone.
Tel Ready Mode
Use it if: • You intend to use the same line for both fax and phone calls
and
• You’re 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 manually using the fax’s telephone handset or
another telephone in your home or office.
