RECEPTION

MODE

When the reception mode is set to TEL/FAX, your fax automatically answers all

calls on 2 rings. After answering, your fax monitors the line for about 5 seconds to

see if a fax tone is being sent.

♦If your fax detects a fax tone (this means that the call is an automatically dialled

fax), it will automatically begin reception of the incoming document.

♦If your fax doesn't detect a fax tone (this means that the call is a voice call or

manually dialled fax), it will make a ringing sound (called pseudo ringing) for 15

seconds to alert you to answer. If you don't answer within this time, your fax will

send a fax tone to the other machine to allow the calling party to send a fax

manually if they desire.

Comments:

♦Only the fax will alert you to voice calls or manually dialled faxes by pseudo

ringing. An extension phone connected to the same line will not ring after the

connection has been made. The handset of a parallel extension telephone can,

however, be picked up to answer the call. To stop pseudo ringing once the

handset is lifted, press "#" key on the dial pad of the phone (this is only possible

from a tone dial phone). If pseudo ringing is not cancelled in this way, the fax

machine will send fax tones down the line, rendering conversation impossible.

♦The duration of pseudo ringing can be adjusted with Option Setting 8. See

Chapter 8,

Option Settings.

♦You can change the number of rings on which the machine answers calls by

changing Option Setting 2. (See Chapter 8,

Option Settings.)
