Selecting the Reception Mode

Your fax has four modes for receiving incoming calls and faxes:

TEL mode:

This is the most convenient mode for receiving phone calls. You can also

receive faxes; 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

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.

ANS. mode:

Select this mode when an answering machine is connected as explained in

Chapter 6, Answering Machine Connection, and you want the answering

machine to answer all calls. This allows you to receive both voice messages

and faxes while you are out.
