Using receive modes 6
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 48.)
Fax Only 6
Fax Only mode will automatically answer
every call as a fax.
Fax/Tel 6
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 F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only)
on page 48 and Ring Delay on page 48.)

answering functions unless you are using the

To receive a fax in Manual mode lift the
handset of the external telephone. When you
hear fax tones (short repeating beeps), press
Mono Start, and then press 2 to receive a
fax. You can also use the Fax Detect feature
to receive faxes by lifting a handset on the
same line as the machine.
(Also see Fax Detect on page 49.)
If you use a computer modem on the same
line, Faxing will not operate correctly.
External TAD 6
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 57.)
