T/F Ready Mode
Use it if: You’re using the machine as not only your fax machine but also a
telephone.
In this mode: Your fax machine answers each incoming call and, if you receive a
voice call, alerts you with a special ring.
As its name implies, the T/F Ready reception mode is sort of a hybrid of the Tel
Ready and Fax Ready modes.
To select T/F Ready mode:
1. If you have an M880 and the red answer lamp is lit, press
answer
to turn off
Auto Answer.
2. If there isn’t a document in the feeder, skip to step 3.
If there is a document in the feeder, press
stop
so it will fed out.
3. Press
receive
until the following display is shown.
T/F Ready 20:30
4. Let your fax answer all calls. Pick up the fax handset only when you hear the
special ring telling you a person is calling.
Silent fax operation in T/F Ready mode
Use silent T/F Ready if you want your fax machine to receive faxes silently and
alert you only when there’s a voice caller. You won’t hear the initial ring your
phone makes. If a caller sends a fax, your fax machine will receive it silently
unless there is an error.
If a person wants to speak with you, however, the fax machine sounds the special
ring for about 30 seconds. If you hear this special ring, you know it’s a voice
caller.
1. If you have an M880, make sure the fax is not in answering machine mode by
pressing
answer
until the red answer light is not lit.
2. Set the fax machine for T/F Ready, as previously described.
3. Turn on the silent mode (see page 2.2).
Note:
Of course, turning on the silent mode will not turn off the ringers on
other telephones in your house or office, nor will other phones
distinguish between fax and voice calls.
What if you answer a fax call?
With your fax machine in T/F Ready mode, you can easily use your fax machine
on the same line as the 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
happily together on one line:
• A phone connected directly to your fax machine
• A phone, or phones, connected elsewhere in your home or office
Using a phone connected directly to your fax machine
If you answer a connected phone and hear fax tones, simply hang up handset.
Your fax machine will go ahead and receive the fax call.
Using a phone not connected to your fax machine
Let’s say you have another telephone connected to the same line (”branch
connected”) as, but not physically to, your fax machine. If you answer a call on
such a phone and hear fax tones, here’s what to do to receive the incoming fax:
1.
Don’t hang up the line!
Instead either:
• Put the telephone handset down (but --- again --- don’t it hang up)
or
• If the telephone has a “hold” feature, put the phone on hold and then hang up
the handset.
2. Go to your fax machine.
3. Lift the fax machine’s handset or press
monitor/call
.
4. Press
start
. If you lifted the fax machine’s handset in step 3, hang it up now.
5. Return to the telephone. If you didn’t put the phone on hold in step 1, hang up
its handset.
