How the unit will answer in each receive mode
ANS/FAX mode: When a distinctive ringing pattern that matches your selection is detected, the unit will
automatically answer the line without ringing and activate the fax function to receive
documents.
If other ringing patterns are received, the unit will ring and activate the fax or answering
function depending on the call.
¡When receiving other ringing patterns, the unit will ring one less time than the ANS/FAX
mode ring count (p. 25) for ringing pattern detection.
FAX mode: In this mode, the unit will answer all calls and activate the fax function.
TEL mode: When a distinctive ringing pattern that matches your selection is detected, the unit will
automatically answer the line without ringing and activate the fax function to receive
documents. If other ringing patterns are received, the unit will ring until you pick up the
handset.
Note:
¡The unit automatically answers a distinctive ring call after the second ring. To change the number of rings,
change the FAX ring count (p. 24) after setting the ringing pattern.
