Selecting the Reception Mode
Your fax machine has four modes for receiving incoming calls and faxes:
RECEPTION MODE key
TEL mode:
This mode is the most convenient for
receiving phone calls. Faxes can also
be received; however, all calls must
first be answered by picking up the
fax'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 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.
