Automatic Fax/Phone Changeover - Sharp FO-130 Operation Manual

RECEIVING A DOCUMENT
Automatic Fax/Phone Changeover
This is a special function which allows you to use one line for both fax and voice communications
without having to personally answer every call. When it is enabled, the FO-130 detects whether an
incoming call is a voice call or a fax transmission. If it is a voice call, the machine will signal you to
answer. If it is a fax transmission, the machine will automatically start reception.
ENABLING AUTOMATIC FAX/PHONE CHANGEOVER
Automatic Fax/Phone Changeover is enabled by setting User Switch 4 to "YES". The procedure
for doing this is described in "User Switches" in Chapter 5.
l
Automatic Fax/Phone Changeover is normally used in automatic reception mode.
However, it can also be used in manual reception mode if User Switch 3 is set to
YES.

machine (voice calls cannot be signaled through these devices).
HOW THE FUNCTION OPERATES
When a call comes in, the machine will answer within 10 seconds.
If the machine detects a fax tone, it begins reception automatically.
If the machine doesn't detect a fax tone, its pseudo ringer will ring for approximately
15 seconds, signaling you to pick up the handset. (Note that only the pseudo ringer,
which makes a sound slightly different from that of normal ringing, will ring; an
extension telephone connected to the machine will not ring.)
In the latter case, if you do not pick up the handset within 15 seconds, the FO-130
issues a fax tone to the other machine. This enables the other party to send a fax
manually if they desire. The document will be received automatically.
