TEL mode:
Select this mode when you want to
receive both phone calls and faxes on
the line connected to the fax machine.
All calls, including faxes, must be
answered by picking up the fax
machine's handset or an extension
phone connected to the same line.
FAX mode:
Select this mode when you only want
to receive faxes on your line. The fax
machine will automatically answer all
calls on two rings and receive
incoming faxes.
TEL/FAX mode:
This mode is convenient for receiving
both faxes and voice calls. When a
call comes in, the fax will detect
whether it is a voice call (including
manually dialled fax transmissions),
or an automatically dialled fax. If it is a
voice call, the fax will make a special
ringing sound to alert you to answer.
If it is an automatically dialled fax
transmission, reception will begin
automatically.
A.M. mode:
Use this mode only if you have
connected an answering machine to
the fax (see Chapter 6). Select this
mode when you go out to receive
voice messages in your answering
machine and faxes on your fax
machine.
For more information on receiving
faxes in TEL and FAX modes, see
Chapter 3, Receiving Documents
(page 41). For more information on
using A.M. mode, see Chapter 6,
Answering Machine Hookup (page
56).
