Using receive modes 5
Some receive modes answer faxes
automatically (Fax Only and Fax/Tel).
You may want to change the Ring Delay
before using these modes. (See Ring Delay
on page 30.)
Fax Only 5
Fax Only mode will automatically answer
every call as a fax.
Fax/Tel 5
Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically
manage incoming calls, by recognising
whether they are fax or voice calls and
dealing with them in one of the following
ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.
 Voice calls will start the F/T ring to tell you
to pick up the line. The F/T ring is a fast
double ring made by your machine.
Use this mode if you receive few voice calls.
(Also see Ring Delay on page 30 and F/T
Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 30.)

answering functions unless you are using the

To receive a fax in Manual mode lift the
handset of an external telephone or the
machine (MFC-7470D only) or press Hook or
Hook/Hold. When you hear fax tones (short
repeating beeps), press Start, and then press

Detect feature to receive faxes by lifting a
handset on the same line as the machine.
(Also see Fax Detect on page 31.)
If you use a computer modem on the same
line, Faxing will not operate correctly.

External TAD mode lets an external
answering device manage your incoming
calls. Incoming calls will be dealt with in the
following ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.
 Voice callers can record a message on the
external TAD.
(For more information, see Connecting an
external TAD on page 37.)
