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.
