Basic operation
Answering calls manually
In any reception mode, you can always 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, use your
optional handset to speak back.
If you hear fax tones ( beep beep beep ),
press
START
and hang up the optional handset.
The fax machine will begin receiving a fax.
Note: Don t try to answer a call by pressing
MONITOR
/
CALL
. The monitor function is
for dialing only.
Answering fax calls using another phone, not the fax machine
If you have one phone line ringing to several phones in your office and you have an
optional handset attached to your fax, there s no need to run to the fax machine to
answer every call. If you happen to answer a fax call while you re at another
extension, put the handset down, but don t hang up. Walk to the fax machine and
pick up the optional handset. Then press
START
.
After you press
START
, hang up both the fax machine s optional handset and the
second telephone s handset. Because remote fax machines will wait several seconds
to hear reception tones from your unit, you have about 30 seconds to walk to your
fax, pick up the handset, and press
START
.
While using an optional handset for your call, if you press
COPY RESET
, the
LCD
shows the current fax reception mode. Press
COPY RESET
again to return to the
TEL
mode.
Reception modes
Your fax machine has five different reception modes Tel Ready, Fax Ready,
Fax/Tel Ready, Tel/Fax Ready and Ans/Fax Ready. We ll explain each of these in
this section.
Tel Ready mode
Use it if: You want to use the same line for both fax and phone calls
and
On that line, you re using at least one other phone which is not
connected to your fax machine
or
You have an optional handset installed on your fax machine
In this mode: Your fax machine never answers calls automatically. You must
answer each call as described in Answering calls manually (this
page, left column).
Fax Ready mode
Use it if: Your fax machine uses its own phone line and doesn t share it with a
phone or an answering machine.
In this mode: Your fax machine answers each call and attempts to receive a fax.
Fax/Tel Ready mode
The Fax/Tel Ready mode is a combination of the Fax Ready and Tel Ready modes.
Use it if: An optional handset is installed on your fax machine
and
You re using the machine as both a fax machine and a telephone
In this mode: Your fax machine receives faxes silently but also alerts you when a
regular voice call comes in. (Your fax machine also beeps once at the
end of each reception.)
If a voice call comes in, your fax machine detects it and sounds a
special ring. If you hear it, answer using your optional handset.
Note: This Fax/Tel Ready mode won t turn off ringers on other telephones in your
house or office. Other phones won t distinguish between fax and voice calls.
