About Receiving Modes
•In Fax mode, the machine answers an incoming fax call and
immediately goes into the fax reception mode.
•In
Tel mode, you can receive a fax by pressing Manual Dial
(you can hear a fax tone from the sending machine) and then
pressing
Start on the control panel of your machine. You can
also pick up the handset of the
extension phone and then
press the remote receive code (see page 7.4).
•In
Ans/Fax mode, the answering machine answers an
incoming call, and the caller can leave a message on the
answering machine. If the fax machine senses a fax tone on
the line, the call automatically switches to Fax mode.
•In
DRPD mode, you can receive a call using the Distinctive
Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature. “Distinctive Ring” is a
telephone company service which enables a user to use a
single telephone line to answer several different telephone
numbers. For further details, see page 7.17.
When your machine’s memory is full, the receiving mode
automatically switches to Tel.
For details about changing the receiving mode, see page 7.3.
N OTES :
• To use the Ans/Fax mode, attach an answering machine to the
EXT jack on the back of your machine.
• If you do not want other people to view your received
documents, you can use Secure Receiving mode. In this mode,
all of the received faxes are stored in memory. For further
details, see page 7.35.
