Receiving in TAM mode (SF-345TP)
If you are an SF-345TP user, you have to activate/deactivate the TAM Mode by pressing the
TAM
button, not by
Rcv.Mode/Darkness
. Once you press
TAM
to turn TAM Mode on, the machine returns to Standby Mode after play-
ing the message back. TAM appears in the right hand corner of the display and the
TAM
button lights.
• When you get a call, the machine answers the call with the TAM greeting message.
• The machine records the caller’s message. If a fax tone is sensed, the machine goes into receive mode.
• Anytime the greeting message is playing, or an incoming message is being recorded, you can talk to the other
person by picking up the handset. If the memory becomes full while recording, your machine beeps a warning and
disconnects the line. The machine will not function as an answering machine unless you make space by erasing
unwanted recorded messages.
• If there is a power failure while recording a caller’s message, it will not be recorded.
• When you want to talk to a caller on another telephone on the same line while recording an incoming message (ICM),
lift its handset and press ‘#’ (hash) and ‘* ’ (asterisk).
Receiving in DRPD mode
DRPD stands for Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection, which is a telephone company service. It enables a user to
use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. To receive a fax in DRPD mode, you
should first set DRPD and activate it. Once you have activated DRPD mode it can be one of the receiving modes
which can be selectable by pressing the
Rcv.Mode/Darkness
button as FAX, TEL and AUTO. To set up DRPD,
see "DRPD Mode" on page 6.10.
Press
Rcv.Mode/Darkness
repeatedly until
DRPD Mode
appears in the display.
• Now, the machine will manage faxes and call as programmed.
• In Standby Mode, DRPD appears in the right hand corner of the display.
DRPD must be set up again if you reassign your fax number, or connect the machine to another telephone line. After DRPD
has been set up, call your fax number again to verify that the machine answers with a fax tone, then have a call placed to a
different number assigned to that same line to be sure the machine answers the normal phone call.
Receiving via an extension telephone
If you have an extension phone connected to your machine, you can remotely control your fax machine to start
