Receive Modes Overview
Some receive modes answer automatically
([Fax Only] and [Fax/Tel]). You may
want to change the Ring Delay before using
these modes.
Fax Only
[Fax Only] mode automatically answers
every call as a fax.
Fax/Tel
[Fax/Tel] mode helps you manage
incoming calls, by recognizing whether they
are fax or voice calls and handling them in
one of the following ways:
• Faxes will be received automatically.
• Voice calls will start the F/T ring to tell
you to pick up the line. The F/T ring is a
pseudo/double-ring made by your
machine.
Manual
[Manual] mode turns off all automatic
answering functions (unless you are using
the Distinctive Ring feature).
To receive a fax in [Manual] mode, lift the
handset of the external telephone or press
the Hook button. When you hear fax tones
(short repeating beeps), press the Start
button, and then select [Receive] to
receive a fax. You can also use the Easy
Receive feature to receive faxes by lifting a
handset on the same line as the machine.
External TAD
[External TAD] mode lets an external
answering device manage your incoming
calls.
Incoming calls will be handled in the
following ways:
• Faxes will be received automatically.
• Voice callers can record a message on
the external TAD.
