Automatic Reception
In this mode, when a call comes in,
your fax machine automatically an-
swers.
Note:
You use feature switch 07 (see
“Setting the Feature Switches” on
Page 27) to set how many rings occur
before the fax machine answers.
After the fax machine answers:
• If the fax machine detects fax
tones, it receives the document.
• If the call is a voice call, the caller
continues to hear several simu-
lated ring signals. Then the fax
machine starts to sound fax tones.
Notes:
• With feature switch 09, you
can change the number of
simulated rings that sound
after the line connects to no
rings (position 00) or between
3 and 11 rings. If you set this
switch to 00, the fax machine
does not sound simulated
rings, and answers callers
with a fax tone.
• If the call is long distance, the
caller is charged from the time
the simulated rings start, even
if they hang up as soon as
they hear the fax tones.
Answering Machine
Reception
Use this mode when you connect an
answering machine to
EXT. TEL
and
want to receive both phone messages
and faxes while you are away.
Set your answering machine to answer
calls within 4 rings. Otherwise, the fax
machine answers after 40 seconds
and sounds fax tones.
When someone calls, the answering
machine answers the call and plays
your announcement. If the fax machine
detects fax tones during the announce-
ment, it disconnects the answering
machine and receives the fax.
Notes:
• If there are 6 seconds of silence,
the fax machine begins sounding
fax tones.
• In your outgoing announcement,
tell callers to press
START
on their
fax machine to send a fax.
• Automatic switching might not
function properly on certain
answering systems.
• You might have trouble retrieving
answering machine messages
from a remote phone if you con-
nect it to the fax machine. Try set-
ting the fax machine to the manual
reception mode and feature switch
54 to 01 (ON).
