Using receive modes 5
Some receive modes answer faxes
automatically (Fax and Fax/Tel). You may
want to change the Ring Delay before using
these modes (see Ring Delay on page 42).
Fax Only 5
Fax mode will automatically answer every
call as a fax.
Fax/Tel 5
Fax/Tel mode helps you 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 F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only)
on page 42 and Ring Delay on page 42.)
