Selecting the Reception Mode

Your fax has four modes for receiving incoming calls and faxes:

TEL mode:

This is the most convenient mode for receiving phone calls. You can also re-

ceive faxes; however, all calls must first be answered by picking up the fax's

handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.

FAX mode:

Select this mode when you only want to receive faxes on your line. The fax will

automatically answer all calls and receive incoming faxes.

TEL/FAX mode:

This mode is convenient for receiving both faxes and voice calls. When a call

comes in, the fax will detect whether it is a voice call (including manually di-

alled fax transmissions), or an automatically dialled fax. If it is a voice call, the

fax will make a special ringing sound to alert you to answer. If it is an automat-

ically dialled fax transmission, reception will begin automatically.

A.M. mode:

Select this mode when an answering machine is connected as described in "Con-

nections" in Chapter 1 and you want the answering machine to answer all calls.

This allows you to receive both voice messages and faxes while you are out.

Setting the reception mode

Press the RECEPTION MODE key un-

til the arrow in the display points to the

desired mode.

mode, see Chapter 4, "Receiving Documents". For more information on using
