RECEIVING DOCUMENTS
Using FAX mode
When the reception mode is set to FAX (press the
RECEPTION MODE
key until
"FAX" appears in the display), your fax automatically answers all calls on 4 rings
and receives the incoming documents.
You can change the number of rings on which the fax answers incoming calls by
changing Option Setting 2 (see Chapter 8, "Optional Settings"). Any number
from 1 to 5 can be selected. Note, however, that reception of auto-dialed faxes
may not be possible from certain fax machines if you select a large number of
rings.
If you pick up the handset before your fax answers, you can talk to the other
party and/or receive a document as described below in "Using TEL mode". For
example, with the fax set to answer on 4 rings, you can receive both voice calls
and fax messages in FAX mode by answering before the fourth ring, but still
have the fax answer calls automatically at times when you are unable to respond
personally.
Note: If you are using distinctive ringing, your fax will answer incoming calls after
two rings regardless of the setting of Option Setting 2.
Using TEL mode
When the reception mode is set to TEL (press the
RECEPTION MODE
key until
"TEL" appears in the display), you must answer all calls (including fax
transmissions) using the fax’s handset or an extension phone connected to the
same line.
Receiving documents on your fax machine
When your fax rings, pick up the hand-
set.
If you hear a fax tone, wait until
RECEIVING appears in the display,
and then replace the handset.
If the other party first talks to you and
then wants to send a fax, press the
START key after speaking (press your
START key before the sender presses
their Start key). Replace the handset.
