Receiving Calls & Fax Messages(Faxes/Phone Calls)
Overview
The machine can treat incoming fax messages and telephone calls in three
ways.
Auto mode (Auto Select Lit)
Use this mode if your line is shared by a fax machine and telephone.
When a call comes in, the machine will ring a number of times to give you the
chance to pick up the handset. If you do not pick up and the call is a fax
message, the machine will go into fax mode and start receiving. You can choose
the number of times the machine rings before taking the call by altering the Auto
Ring time (see page 13). Also use this mode if you have a telephone answering
machine connected (see page 13).
Fax mode (Auto Select Lit)
Use this mode if you have a dedicated fax line.
The machine assumes all calls are fax messages. It will ring once to alert you to
an incoming call and then start receiving.
Manual Receive Mode (Auto Select Not Lit)
Use this mode if your line is shared by a fax machine and a telephone but you
wish to answer all calls yourself and decide whether they are fax messages or
telephone calls. You must manually hit the Start key to receive a fax.
The machine will ring continuously until you answer the call, so you have to be
near the machine at all times.
