3. Receiving Faxes
Using TEL/FAX (T/F) Mode
To select TEL/FAX mode, press
(with no document in the
feeder) until [T/F] appears in the
display.
When the reception mode is set to TEL/
FAX, the machine automatically
answers all calls on 2 rings (the number
of rings can be changed by changing
the Number of Rings setting on page
27). After answering, the machine
monitors the line for about five seconds
to see if a fax tone is being sent.
♦If the machine detects a fax tone (this
means that the call is an automatically
dialed fax), it will automatically receive
the fax.
♦If your machine doesn't detect a fax
tone (this means that the call is a
voice call or manually dialed fax), it
will make a special ringing sound
(called “pseudo ringing”) for 15
seconds to alert you to pick up the
machine’s handset. If you don't
answer within this time, the machine
will send a fax tone to the other
machine to allow the calling party to
send a fax manually.
Note: Only the machine will make the
special ringing sound. Another phone
connected to the same line will not ring
after the machine initially answers the
call.
