Receiving Faxes
Choosing a Reception Mode
This machine has two reception modes:
• FAX mode
• TEL mode
●FAX Mode
In this mode the machine automatically answers incoming calls. When a
call is received, the machine rings a few times to alert you that a message is
being sent, then starts receiving and printing the message.
FAX mode is ideal for a dedicated fax line.
Note
• The machine cannot switch between FAX mode and TEL mode automatically.
●TEL Mode
In this mode, the machine does not answer incoming calls automatically.
The machine will continue ringing until you pick up the handset (option),
or start fax reception manually.
This mode is useful if you are sharing the line with a telephone. If the caller
is a person, you can answer the telephone normally, but if it is a fax machine
you can still receive the message.
Note
• On Hook dialling is not available in some locales.
• This mode requires someone to be near the machine to receive fax messages. If
nobody answers the call, fax messages will not be received.
