Receiving a Fax
Reception Modes
Your multi-function machine has four reception modes:
¥ In TEL mode, automatic fax reception is turned off. You can receive a fax only by
manually pressing START.
¥ In FAX mode, the machine answers an incoming call and immediately goes into receive
mode, waiting for a fax to be sent.
¥ In TEL/FAX mode, the machine answers an incoming call expecting to receive a fax. If
the machine does not sense a fax signal, it will sound another ringing tone to tell you it
is a phone call. If you do not lift the handset during the secondary ringing, the machine
will switch to automatic fax reception mode.
¥ In ANS/FAX mode, the answering machine answers an incoming call, and the caller
can leave a message on the answering machine. If the fax machine senses a fax tone on
the line, the call automatically switches over to the fax machine. To use the ANS/FAX
mode, you have to attach an answering machine to the EXT. LINE socket on your fax
machine (see page 2.5).
The lamps located above the RCV.MODE button indicate the selected reception mode.
If you seldom use the fax line for voice conversations, set the fax machine to receive a fax
automatically by selecting either FAX mode or TEL/FAX mode.
Notes :
¥ The receiving speed varies according to the memory capacity used.
¥ While you print a PC file with this machine (for SF4100, SF4200 only), an incoming fax
will be received in memory. If you have a lot of pages to print, we recommend to stop
PC printing to prevent memory from being full.
